 |  | | Is Test Automation a "Project"?
Test automation can turn into a real pain in the neck if a designated team is in charge of it or if the automators work on it as a separate project. In this article, Lisa Crispin seconds Bob Jones’s recent call for whole-team test automation and elaborates on the dangers of relegating test automation to an isolated project rather than integrating it into the overall software development process. |

Web Seminar: Rise Above the Challenges of Performance Testing in the Clouds
Let’s not kid ourselves. Conducting performance testing, and conducting it well, is difficult. And most of us are stuck running performance tests in suboptimal environments, from which results are often difficult to extrapolate in terms of predicting the behavior of a future production environment. No one can afford to run effective performance tests this way, especially if you’re faced with timeline and budgetary constraints. Join Scott Barber, an internationally recognized thought-leader in the field of performance testing, and Christian Romero, senior performance consultant for Hexaware Technologies, as they discuss some of the challenges of internally building and maintaining both load generation and performance testing environments. You’ll also gain insight on available software in the clouds. Join us Tuesday, January 31, at 2 p.m. ET.
