infoWorld Webinar: Bringing Performance Validation "Into the Lifecycle" with a Virtual Service Environment (VSE) with Theresa Lanowitz, voke and John Michelsen, iTKO LISA

Today's enterprise apps are both complex and ever-changing, which makes delivering high performance difficult. By Virtualizing the behavior of application services and data in a VSE, teams can answer this challenge with Load & Performance validation best practices, and test tools like LoadRunner, to ensure solid performance throughout the development and integration lifecycle.

Join leading Application Lifecycle analyst Theresa Lanowitz, voke, and iTKO LISA founder & Chief Architect John Michelsen, for this online event May 28, 2008, 2:00 PM Eastern / 11:00 AM Pacific.

SD Times Webinar Archive: Three Steps to SOA Trust: Testing, Validation and Virtualization with John Michelsen, iTKO, and Dave Rubenstein, bzMedia (Moderator)

Adopting a service-oriented approach allows companies "do more with less" and gain agility, by integrating new and existing technologies around business goals. However, dancing with SOA comes with an increase the level of complexity in ensuring quality across the lifecycle of these highly interdependent and heterogeneous applications. Often, development and QA teams do not even have access to all of the components they need to design and develop Services that meet the expected business goals. This webinar will provide best practices and real-world examples of teams that are taking three key steps on the road to SOA, and gaining sure footing as well as trust across teams.

• Testing: Continuous testing of the application to ensure that all components are meeting expected service levels of Performance, Reliability and Scalability.
• Validation: Invoking and verifying that business behaviors are being carried out accurately not just at the Service layer, but within systems of record.
• Virtualization: Freeing teams from the burden of dependency on live applications by allowing them to flexibly simulate their behavior in their own environment

iTKO, Zapthink and Managed Methods Group Webinar: 'Governance, Quality and Management: The Keys to Trusting SOA' July 18, 2007 Archive

Migrating to an SOA strategy offers cost and flexibility advantages for the enterprise. However, to avoid business risk and achieve trust, teams must approach SOA as a continuous lifecycle and not a one-time implementation event. Proper SOA Governance requires continuous testing and management throughout the lifecycle of your applications, not just during development, but beyond deployment.

iTKO and Aberdeen Group Webinar: 'SOA Governance and the Continuous Quality Lifecycle of Service-Based Applications'

Is SOA Testing the final frontier of SOA Governance? In SOA and composite application environments, research shows that the tools and practices to ensure quality may often lag behind the enterprise's ability to deploy initial Services. What will the impact of this difference be, and how can you take steps to counteract the quality challenge and trust your architecture?
