As software system complexity increases, so necessarily does the production infrastructure responsible for build, test, release, deploy. What is the future of this trend? This engaging talk explores the evolution of the relationship between complex projects and their supporting systems across other industries. Using history as a guide to the future, it considers the creation of a distinct new engineering discipline -- software production engineering -- with new tools, methodologies, and people specifically targeting the unique challenges of this space.

Managing software delivery risk in a changing environment is a difficult challenge and implementing a strategy for a software lifecycle approach to quality management aligned to business objectives and outcomes seem as daunting. However, to drive innovation and differentiation, successful organizations are realizing that a software lifecycle approach supported by repeatable processes, integrated tooling, data and metrics is critical to ensure greater quality and achieve greater value from their investments in software.
Join us as Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC), New Zealand’s government sponsored provider of personal injury coverage for all New Zealand residents and visitors, shares their Rational requirements and quality management success story. Focus is on understanding ACC’s business objectives and challenges and how, as they move to a continuous, integrated and more flexible approach to software delivery, they are addressing their challenges, better meeting the needs of their business and delivering greater quality at reduced risk and cost of rework.

In good economic times teams attempt bold experiments that promise to take them to new heights of productivity. In lean times like these few have the appetite for such speculative ventures. Any new investment needs to address immediate pain and show immediate payback. But the pace of demands haven’t slowed and the ever increasing need to do more continues. For build and release teams the demands come from all directions. The shorter cycle times of Agile means more builds, more deployments and more releases. The adoption of SOA means more complexity, more elements to juggle. The move to global round-the-clock 24-hr development means more teams to service and less downtime. And in this economy adding headcount is likely not an option, instead you’re told to get Lean and Mean. But how do you get to Lean and Mean without being stretched too thin?

ActiveMQ is highly configurable, but out of the box is neither tuned for performance or scalability. This webinar will cover the typical trade-offs against reliability you can make with messaging systems and how ActiveMQ’s advanced architecture allows you to mitigate against those trade-offs to have a performing but reliable messaging infrastructure.

For organizations facing compliance and regulatory requirements, the conventional wisdom is that if they choose an enterprise ALM solution, they will sacrifice developer productivity. NOT true. Lightweight and developer friendly capabilities, e.g. Agile development practices, can co-exist with process enforcement, compliance support and end-to-end traceability.

In the current economic climate, software development executives are being asked to reduce costs across the board. Headcounts are frozen, if not slashed, and budgets are tight. The savvy development (or SCM or Release) Manager should know that a potentially untapped opportunity for cost savings and productivity improvement lies in the back end of software development. The build and test process is ripe for improvement. This webinar will explore some real world examples of significant cost savings by automating and accelerating this process.

How mature are your Continuous Integration and automation practices? Where can you get the most improvement based on your specific problems and needs? How are other organizations solving these same problems?
In recent years the role of automation in software development has expanded dramatically. The collision of the Agile practice of Continuous Integration with the realities of enterprise development projects — where large projects, distributed teams or strict governance requirements are not aberrations — has resulted in increased automation efforts throughout the lifecycle. Top performing teams achieve Enterprise Continuous Integration and tie their efforts together into an end-to-end solution that pays dividends by enabling them to deliver changes faster with higher quality, and with more control for less effort.

With Agile adoption on the rise, understanding the needs of Quality Assurance (QA) in Agile software delivery projects is possibly the biggest challenge in the IT industry today in terms of reducing costs, while improving quality and time to market. In Agile or mixed methodology environments, the need for automated quality doesn’t change, it only intensifies.
