ITKO Case Study: Oracle AIA, Fusion Test & Virtualize  members
When the world's largest enterprise software company makes a commitment to "shift quality left" - and make consistent improvements in time-to-market, labor and infrastructure costs, and delivered quality across product lines, that equates to a case study worth reading. Multiple technology teams within Oracle, notably, the Oracle Fusion middleware team, and the AIA (Application Integration Architecture) organizations were looking to improve delivery efficiency, through more repeatable processes and test automation. For a software company that has grown with extensive product development as well as through strategic acquisition of leading product suites, the ability to rapidly integrate and deploy apps depends on having ready lab environments, as well as highly automated testing that can peel the layers of their architecture from the rich UI to the middle tier.

ITKO Case Study: Virtual Training Environments - Interstate Banking Firm  members
One of the leading interstate banking institutions in the US, this company is in the midst of a technology transformation.

ITKO Case Study: Leading P&C Insurer: Virtualizing Performance  members
This major North American property & casualty insurance firm needed to eliminate performance bottlenecks in the midst of a massive system re-architecture project.

ITKO Case Study: Western Power  members
As Western Power has embraced the use of an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), applications which were once quite separate had become highly interconnected. While integration of applications brings benefits in terms of automation and process efficiency, it also means that changes can incur unintended negative consequences on each other. Unit tests, while useful for testing each component application, cannot effectively test the entire value chain. Western Power needed an end-to-end testing tool that could test the interactions between applications, and virtualize unavailable services and systems.

ITKO LISA Customer Story: Energy Services Company members
Extending and Virtualizing your Architecture for Maximum Flexibility. LISA Test was designed to handle complex SOA testing scenarios out of the box. However, there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to performance and functional testing - especially when you are dealing with multiple trading partners, as well as a large set of existing legacy applications to bring into the fold. Each software system has some unique facets and idiosyncrasies that require flexibility and adaptability on the part of the testing tool, and the teams who must get the job done.
