Lifecycle Quality Management; Infusing and Automating Quality at Every Phase When you leave quality to the end, or as someone else's responsibility, it can result in applications that fail to meet your original goals, require costly rework or miss critical release dates. To prevent these problems, you need an advanced approach to managing overall quality throughout the software development lifecycle. During this webcast, Gartner Research and Borland will discuss Lifecycle Quality Management and the importance of infusing quality throughout the application development process…helping you achieve: Better requirements management practices for software that meets business needs Better developer practices for finding and fixing defects as they occur Better use of testing techniques, such as load testing built around usage scenarios
Test what matters. The benefits of aligning requirements and testing. It’s a given that every organization intends to deliver applications that meet business needs. And most test their applications to some degree before Go-Live. Unfortunately, it’s a rare event to see these two critical processes linked, much less well-aligned. And that’s where things go wrong—the application doesn’t meet expectations, users don’t like it and no one adopts it. This means massive rework and, ultimately, loss of revenue, reputation or competitive advantage. This doesn’t have to be you. Don’t waste critical time testing the wrong things. Join Richard Bender, the luminary of RBT for over 20 years, and Borland Software in a discussion that explores how organizations like yours have turned tactical, reactive testing teams into integrated strategic development partners.

Activity & Asset Management — Moving SCCM from technical capability to enterprise process In this webcast, Ian Wesley from Ovum and Corné Human of Borland Software Corporation explain why a unified approach to activity and asset management has become a must have and can no longer be considered a nice to have, if you are creating software in today's ever changing world. View this webcast to learn how unified Activity & Asset Management: Gives you up to date visibility on the current status and history of all changes taking place in your project Gives you insight into the relationship between assets and thus the full impact of proposed changes on other assets Enables the efficient gathering of activity progress updates in relation to affected assets Makes it easier to find assets in context and thus promote asset re-use Registration required
Is Distributed Development empowering or undermining your business agility? Managing software development across distributed teams and multiple software projects is hard enough. But doing it in a way that actually delivers strategic value to the organization in the form of business agility? You need a way to improve collaboration, simplify team infrastructure and make sure everyone’s working from a centralized, single source of truth. As business projects scale, more focus and discipline needs to be applied to process and communication. Failure to do this simply undermines your success. In this webcast, you’ll hear from three different industry leaders – Forrester Research, BT and Borland Software - on how you can create business agility with even the most unwieldy distributed development projects.
