Presented by: Byron Goodman, National Director of Quality Assurance, Neudesic
Broadcast Date: 02/14/2012
The feature-rich capabilities of coded UI tests in Visual Studio 2010 may be overwhelming, but there are practices you can employ to simplify the code, resulting in easy-to-read and maintainable automated tests. Join us to learn how Neudesic's National Director of Quality Assurance Byron Goodman simplifies test scripting by implementing test classes that use a different pattern than the standard option offered in Visual Studio 2010, constructs a UI map with simplified navigation, and which logging techniques to use to enable more freedom for long-term data gathering and sharing. If you're responsible for implementing a framework automated testing solution, interested in simplifying your test scripts, and want to improve your tests asset reliability and usability, then be sure to join this web seminar.

Presented by: Ian Holdsworth, Senior Visual Studio Consultant, Testhouse
Broadcast Date: 02/02/2012
A frequent reaction to poorly performing applications is to add additional infrastructure, increase bandwidth, or make architectural changes, which can be expensive and ultimately may fail to solve the problem. Alternatively, a company may try but fail to identify their performance bottlenecks due to lack of expertise, use of unsuitable test tools, test data, or simply because of its environments. Testhouse specializes in performance testing and has executed numerous projects based on its performance testing methodologies across various technologies using Microsoft's Visual Studio 2010. In this web seminar, Testhouse's Senior Visual Studio Consultant Ian Holdsworth shares the company's successful load and performance test methodologies.

Broadcast Date: 01/31/2012
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.

At the heart of parallel development across locations or projects is the development team's ability to branch and merge code efficiently. The team can choose from several different branching patterns, based on elements such as feature or release. Often determined at the start of the project, the chosen branching pattern can have either a positive or negative impact—by allowing for more development resources or constraining developers with time-consuming merge activities. Join AccuRev's development expert, Chris Lucca to learn how to branch and merge efficiently.

Broadcast Date: 12/14/2011
What is the one thing that can truly enable individuals and teams to collaborate and innovate with agility? Technology companies claim that you need the latest and greatest tools while consultants say you need a rigid process of best practices. These things will make a difference but they are useless without a culture that promotes the right principles. Much can be learned from successful teams in other domains such as jazz, basketball, and even special forces military units. In all of these fields, multi-disciplined teams integrate innovative contributions from highly capable individuals into group and individual behaviors. In this web seminar, jazz musician and IBM software development manager Adrian Cho describes the ways in which software developers can learn from jazz musicians and great performers in other domains.
