iTKO Webinar Archive: Are Testing Costs eating up your Development Budgets? December 1, 2009
|
New composite application development approaches such as SOA, BPM, and SaaS can provide greater flexibility and speed in assembling reusable components and services into applications. While platform vendors such as IBM, Oracle, SAP and TIBCO have made innovations that have brought integration time and development costs down, the unintended consequence is that testing these systems is becoming harder than ever. To achieve quality in today's complex, distributed application environments, we need to take a different approach from the old, manual way of acceptance testing finished applications. Higher levels of automation and reuse are possible when the testing methodology and tools support the goals of early component-level testing, dynamic test data and virtualization of incomplete or unavailable systems.
Attendees to this one-hour educational session will learn:
- Proven methodologies for testing composite applications across distributed project teams and authority domains.
- Automated testing and virtualization tools that allow testers to keep up with the speed of today's leading integration frameworks like Oracle FUSION and AIA, IBM, TIBCO and others.
- Real-world validation examples from Insurance, Government and Utility industry software integration projects will be discussed
Join CSC's Global Director of Testing Services, J.S. Samuel, and iTKO Founder and Chief Architect, John Michelsen for this complimentary webinar, and learn how major companies are accelerating testing to gain ground on agile development and integration practices, while lowering project costs and software failure risks. Bring your questions.
