Presented by: Pete DuPré, Chief Architect, Borland, a Micro Focus company, and Hollie Lopes, System Lifecycle Manager, Invertix
Broadcast Date: 05/23/2012
How much rework results from poor requirements in your organization? Forty percent of the development budget is the norm. Yet organizations continue the practices that result in inadequate requirements because "they have always done it this way." Sixty-three percent of software projects are delivered late, over budget, missing required features, or are considered failures according to the Standish Group's CHAOS Manifesto 2011. However, rework can be significantly reduced and the effort reapplied to value-add activities. Join Borland and Invertix to explore the problems with current requirement processes and learn why most organizations continue to miss the mark. We'll also explore the latest innovation and concepts in Requirements Definition & Management, how agile development methods drive waste out of the system when accompanied by optimized RDM techniques, and ways to reduce software development costs and the immediate effect on your project's success by improving the quality of requirements.

Presented by: Russ Queen, Program Manager in QA, Nordstrom, and Vasudeva Naidu, Client Relationship, Infosys
Broadcast Date: 04/24/2012
Risk-based testing helps address the rise in business and technological complexity and the growing amount of applications in testing by prioritizing test cases based on the defined criticality of a function, encouraging impact assessment of an application functionality failure, and increasing testing effectiveness. Despite these benefits, risk-based testing is still used or deployed in a limited manner across organizations. In this web seminar, speakers Russ Queen and Vasudeva Naidu discuss the two most common reasons that limit the adoption of risk-based testing. You’ll also learn in full detail how Infosys addressed these challenges and developed a risk-based testing framework that helps improve quality, time to market, and reduced testing costs.

Presented by: Edwin "Ed" J. Reynolds, Director of Consulting Services, ALP International
Broadcast Date: 02/28/2012
Developers and testers usually work in related but divided teams and use tools that aren't integrated and don't communicate well when issues are discovered. The result is erratic code quality dependent on the individual developer with a high escaped-bug rate, frequent regressions, and performance problems. Microsoft's application lifecycle management toolset—which includes Microsoft Test Manager, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, and Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010—have introduced capabilities that enable testers and developers to work together at a new, more-productive level of collaboration. Attend this event to learn how implementing these tools promises higher software quality through fewer bugs and less regression tests, faster time-to-market by addressing defect root cause quickly and accurately, and enhances work relationships that foster a new level of respect between testers and their development peers.

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.

Presented by: Adrian Cho, Software Development Manager, IBM
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.
