Sift and Pass-through (or content based stub routing) – and why you need it
Within the context of a complex middleware development project, attempting to work on “next release” deliverables prior to gaining formal acceptance of the current release and reaching a “baselined” status can be a frustrating (and risky) exercise. By their very nature, large development environments tend to be a little thin on the ground due to their associated licensing, hardware and maintenance costs -often projects will run only one “DEV” environment. As a customer goes through... [More]

Service Testing and Virtualization
Many years ago, we used to talk to our customers about the
need for automated testing. Test teams built
long lists of manual tests and struggled to finish their testing on time, not
to mention the difficulty they had with managing these tests. These days however, software development organizations
do a reasonable job of automating their testing because there are has been a reemphasis
on the importance of quality. Unfortunately,
there are still other significant challenges being faced by testers. The first major one is that... [More]

Can Agile Testing Succeed in Complex Application Environments?
In an ideal world, Agile teams are collocated. A collaborative world with open dialog where everybody is on the same page working to achieve a common goal of quickly delivering quality software with confidence. However, for many, the reality is that Agile team members are distributed. There are independent test teams located miles away from the developers. Testing composite applications deployed on heterogeneous environments without the ability to openly discuss challenges with developers at the water cooler or during an informal discussion.... [More]

Innovate 2012 - What a Conference!
Finally back in my office with some time to reflect on the week at Innovate 2012. It was such a great conference, I am challenged picking which memory to highlight first as there are so many things to choose from. Sunday night, conference attendees showed a tremendous interest on the topic of service virtualization, Rational's new testing solutions, and Green Hat technology. Hundreds of people stopped by the Green Hat solution center booth to get their "Green Groove" on and see the future of testing - Rational Test Workbench &... [More]

Service Virtualization - helping to remove today's testing bottlenecks
At one time and for many development organizations, an
entire application was written in house. When development was finished and the
entire application was available in a test environment, the test team took over
validating that the business requirements were met. However, more often than
not, the delivery deadline was missed due to a lack of quality or required
functionality and projects requested more money to keep going or they simply
plunged over the waterfall meeting their demise. Then along came iterative development and Agile. New... [More]
