I have a vocabulary in my drupal project and I want to make the vocabulary as a single select in one of my content types. I can do it in the form_alter. But to select the vocabulary item in the form_alter, I need its vocabulary-id. I dont want to hard code vocabulary-id in my code, so I searched for a drupal core function to get the vocabulary id from its name. In drupal 7 there is a function to get the entire vocabulary object from its machine name. But in drupal 6 there is no core function to get vocabulary id from its name. So I created a custom function to get the vocabulary id from its name. See the following function I programmed, to get the vocabulary id from its name.

For this, the tester should include every minute details of a bug in the report he/she prepares. Sometimes you may find it difficult to report bug with mere words.

This article is meant for users who are getting used to Ubuntu and in search for a start up guide/basic steps to use the gimp for editing your screen-shots. Read on the following steps:

As test case is the important document for testing, testers use different effective techniques for preparing the same. Equivalence Partitioning or equivalence classes is one of the effective techniques among them. It is a black box testing technique, which focusses mainly on the functionality of a software. Therefore the main aim of equivalence partitioning is to prepare an effective test case which covers the total functionality of an application. In this article, I have included a brief note on Equivalence Partitioning.

Review is the process of examining software related documents such as Requirement documents, design documents, user stories, test plan, test specification etc. This gives an opportunity to the team members, managers and clients to get clarity on the requirements and bridge the gap.
