Software development practices have lost their sense of equilibrium, and the Cloud can help bring it back. The forces of increased complexity, interconnectivity, geographic distribution, and pace of change are invalidating some of the fundamental assumptions we have relied on in software development process. In turn, this has created an imbalance in the economy in which software development operates.
Development and test processes that rely heavily on repeated execution of steps via manual labor cannot meet the organizational goals of reducing cycle time and costs. We have found that for most development organizations, their greatest constraints to meeting their objectives are outside their own control. Those constraints are the lack of availability, capacity, and stability of required development and test environments throughout the software lifecycle.
Download this innovative paper today, and learn how advances in automation, service-orientation and virtualization have now made it possible to leverage Cloud in a new way - as an essential platform for development and testing itself - what we call a DevTest Cloud.
