ITKO Webinar Archive: Lifecycle Virtualization - A New Practice of Optimizing Application Development

June 15, 2011

ITKO Webinar Archive: Service Virtualization: Solving the Biggest Challenges in Continuous Testing & Development
With Infosys. As enterprise applications incorporate more composite elements such as SOA, BPM and Cloud-based services, teams struggle to maintain productivity against rapidly increasing complexity and change. This is especially true in large enterprises with the heaviest reliance on IT as part of their core operations, such as financial and insurance firms, Manufacturing organizations, Retailers, Telcos, and other data-driven businesses. A competitive market demands continuous software test and development practices, alongside the new technology of Service Virtualization to enable parallel development and testing lifecycles.

ITKO Webinar: What Makes a DevTest Cloud Fly? (And what is the value?)
So your company is moving its software development and integration activities to the DevTest Cloud. What are some of the new practices you should expect to be able to do in this environment, and what are other companies doing successfully right now? The DevTest Cloud is an essential platform that provides the ability to provision enterprise development and test labs, consisting of Virtual Machines (VMs), Virtual Service Environments, and automated regression and performance test servers in the Cloud. Examples of utilizing DevTest Cloud for performance tuning, regression testing and continuous integration will be covered in this insightful session.

ITKO Webinar Archive: Addressing a Lack of Capacity: Virtualizing the Performance Lab for Optimal Results
With Accenture. Most major enterprises have invested millions of dollars on software performance lab infrastructure. These huge capital investments have developed recurring maintenance effort and costs, unstable environments, and inter-team conflicts over constrained resources. To combat this drain and deliver meaningful value, companies need to find ways to optimize performance labs and add incremental value. By Virtualizing the behavior and performance characteristics of test lab dependencies, Accenture and ITKO have demonstrated how joint customers can achieve highly available labs that allow earlier performance testing with greater flexibility, at a much lower cost.
