Think traceability is just for compliance-driven industries? Think again. This best practice might sound technical and complex, but it doesn't have to be and it very well could be your ticket to better results. In fact, companies with maturerequirements management and traceability processes achieve 75% higher success rates.

Many organizations are moving to composite applications which are made up of smaller units of functionality that can be developed and tested in quickly achieved increments. This approach promotes agility because the smaller units of functionality, can be developed in parallel, accessed from third parties, and reused in multiple projects. The downside is that the entire process can slow down if there are dependencies on services that are not available when developers and testers need them. This paper shares how you can address the challenges of developing and testing composite applications by simulating unavailable services in a virtual environment – enabling functional and performance testing to take place earlier in the application lifecycle saving time and reducing the cost of developing and testing modern applications.

Modern QA organizations require solutions that allow them to test complex applications, start testing earlier, and run more tests—all while reducing costs. HP customers have turned to HP Functional Testing (Quick Test Professional), HP Service Test, and HP Sprinter to meet these challenges. The 58 customers who participated in the study detailed in this white paper all had different functional testing challenges to address. However, they had a common commitment to delivering high-quality applications to their businesses. This paper examines the experiences of these customers and shares their stories.

The mobile device market is rapidly changing and evolving, hundreds of new devices are introduced each year. From a testing perspective, how can an IT team keep up with the rapid releases and matrix of permutations to deliver a consistent experience? Which combinations should be tested, and how often? All these questions create a growing dilemma, especially as more mobile applications become critical to the business. But while there are new challenges that mobile devices bring to delivery teams, none of the challenges are insurmountable. This white paper shares what should be considered when planning the development and delivery of mobile applications.

The pursuit of cost reductions and greater product release efficiencies has fueled the expansion of distributed Agile development. To recreate the advantages of co-location in distributed settings, companies have been looking to email, collaboration tools and traditional social networks. However, companies usually have little or no synergy between these disparate tools, and miss the development context.
As an alternative, leading companies are moving towards integrated platforms for development. Of particular interest are global repositories that managers, developers and others can access for wikis, discussion forums, code review, tracking and more. There are clear benefits to having a central hub where team members can share updates regardless of time zone or task and even automate traditionally manual and error-prone tasks. This approach can dramatically improve productivity, quality and efficiency. Over time, integration can also help build trust between dispersed team members.
This white paper will highlight solutions for application development in globally dispersed organizations. Insights and strategies for maximizing efficiencies in a distributed environment will be presented, along with best practices.
