This unique test plan will not only examine your PKI from a detailed test case molecular perspective but also with a broad overview meaning to look at your holistic Web architecture. To ensure true Web security we require privacy, authenticity, integrity, and availability. Furthermore, a solid long-term strategy with vision should be signed off on to ensure that legal aspects can be handled if your server is somehow compromised.

In this paper I will discuss the development and use of the Continuous Hours of Operation (CHO) test which was developed for the Convex Division of Hewlett-Packard. My goal is to help readers with the practical aspects of developing a load test which can be used to help gauge and improve the reliability of a software system. I will briefly mention how we were unable to make much use of currently available software reliability frameworks, partially because of their deficiencies, and partially because of our inadequate knowledge of them. I knew enough about the theories to know that we did not have enough data to calculate a Mean Time to Failure metric; however, we were still successful in improving the reliability of our product and using the results of the CHO test as a release criterion.

In major companies, one out of every four expense dollars is spent on information technology. As IT becomes more important to business, it has to be run as a business--be market competitive, be market ready, offer the customers options, manage itself with a strong fiscal accountability, treat the money it's responsible for as an investment. The notion of running IT as a business really means making IT competitive through the regular market pressures of the business that houses it, and more and more companies are understanding this.

There are five main risk areas in E-Business (EB) system development. These risks relate to usability, performance, security, availability and functionality. This paper presents an overview of the risks of E-Business and a framework for creating an E-business Test Strategy.
