ABSTRACT:
Business agility in a difficult, highly competitive economy demands software quality and security. And in a brittle economic environment, the costs of vulnerable, failed applications just aren't acceptable. How can an organization be successful and maintain high-performing business-critical software with fewer resources?
Join industry analyst Melinda Ballou, program director for IDC's Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and Executive Strategies services as she answers this question and sets context and strategies for each stage of the Application Lifecycle: requirements, QA testing, load/performance testing and change and configuration management.
You will learn:
- What the key drivers are for effective quality adoption that companies can use to evolve existing strategies
- How to assess the hidden costs are of "free" open source code and complex sourcing
- How companies can set appropriate organizational and process approaches to cut costs early in the lifecycle and prioritize key business initiatives
- How companies are leveraging Software as a Service delivery models for testing to facilitate software quality automation
