Shift Left to better business results: Speed delivery of higher quality software. October 15, 2014 - 1 pm ET Many of today's organizations struggle to deliver quality software at the speed their users demand. Successful organizations are moving to a DevOps approach and shifting testing to the left. But what does a shift left approach to testing really mean? How can organizations begin the shift left process and realize the tremendous benefits that this approach has brought others? Join Glyn Rhodes, IBM Product Manager for Integration Testing and Service Virtualization solutions, as he demystifies what a shift left approach to testing is all about. Learn the common sense approach to getting started. Hear how others are benefiting from a test earlier; test continuously approach to software quality and reducing their testing cycles from weeks and months down to minutes and hours. Attend and gain an understanding of:

Deliver Quality Software Faster: Eliminate Testing Bottlenecks October 22, 2014 - 2 pm ET
Poorly managed and incomplete test labs and environments are a chronic drag on productivity, quality, and time to market. In a recent survey asking testers where they felt their time would be best spent, both “setting up test labs” and “creating test data” came in toward the bottom of the list. In a successful test environment, the infrastructure, application, and test data must be readily available. In order for this to happen, testers must know what they have on hand and be able to bring suggestions for improvement back to their teams so that the test environment is as similar to production as possible. Join us for this informative web seminar that details the role of automation in keeping your test environment healthy. Learn how to:

IBM Webcast: What SAP Testers really needOctober 28, 2014 - 2 PM ET
The SAP landscape is continuously changing, as a result of, business process changes within the client company, changes to the system environment, changes to applications interfacing with SAP, changes to SAP modules from SAP, and a multitude of regulatory compliance mandates. As the complexity of your SAP implementation grows, conventional SAP testing techniques can cause testing costs to soar. Join Kay and Carsten as they discuss how to apply an effective approach to testing your SAP and non-SAP systems, and will showcase our proven SAP testing solutions highlighting test automation, test environments, and test management.

IBM Webcast: Continuous Testing with Urban Code Deploy and Rational Test Workbench / Rational Test Virtualization ServerNovember 3, 2014 - 1 PM ET
Building a modern business application requires the integration of many services across many APIs both internal and external. Due to this increasing complexity, it is important that the testing of these complex systems also starts early as possible. Leaving the testing until the end of product delivery increases project risk and the cost of fixing any defects found during later development stage. Using the power of IBM's service-based testing and service virtualization capabilities combined with automated deployment, it is now possible to perform integration testing on every application build. For application components still under development, service virtualization allows integration testing to occur even earlier in the development cycle simulating the missing parts of the system. Service virtualization also allows driving of error scenarios from both internal and external systems that may be hard or even impossible to produce, even with the real systems.

IBM Webcast: Use Discovery to accelerate testing and virtualization (and find out dark secrets about your environment)November 12, 2014 - 1 PM ET
Many of today's business applications offer a multitude of services (APIs) across many different technologies. These same applications also reach out into a web of already-existing services in order to retrieve and update information necessary to successfully deliver the end to end business processes. In many cases, these applications are being built by multiple development teams distributed around the world with architectural approaches and middleware changing over time and yet we point test teams at the mere tip of the iceberg and say, "Test it!". Testers know the benefits service-based testing and service virtualization bring but to successfully use these capabilities they first have to understand not only the application's architecture but also the way in which it communicates with everything around it. Finding this information can be a forensic-like exercise; even if there is documentation there is only one real truth - the environment itself. Watching and interrogating the real systems allows testers to understand what's really happening under the surface, sometimes with surprising results.

IBM Webcast: Integration Testing and Service Virtualization in a WebSphere EnvironmentDec 2, 2014 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET Speakers: Stephen Rowles & Matt Lovett
Developing and testing complex middleware based applications is a difficult job. Services are developed, owned and run by many different teams including 3rd parties. Few projects are isolated; there will be a long list of dependencies that all need to be in place in order to develop and test satisfactorily. Setting up such environments is time-consuming and expensive which means it doesn't happen until late in the cycle at which point integration testing can go spectacularly wrong. As organisations move to a DevOps style of release this can cause a huge bottleneck in the pipeline.
IBM Webcast: Integration Testing and Service Virtualization in an SAP environmentDec 16, 2014 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET Speakers: Nick Portalski & Glyn Rhodes
In years gone by SAP landscapes were very controlled, well understood and tightly coupled technical assets. Now days the demands from the business mean they operate in a far more distributed and highly integrated technology space where stakeholders of a business process can be both internal and external. We have to think of applications as the sum of their parts, and testing is no exception to this rule.
