As simple as this axiom might sound, it holds true for industries of all types. It holds particular relevance to the IT industry since many critical processes that an entire business depends on runs under the hood in complicated code scripts and millions of lines of code. It is imperative for businesses to be able to pop the hood open and make sure that they have as much visibility into the inner workings of their business less something that could be preventable brings down an entire system. Bugs and code defects can definitely do that. With increasing code complexity, it is no longer a surprise to hear news stories of how entire clouds went offline, bringing down hundreds of dependent businesses along with them.

The business gains the control and flexibility to tune business processes more quickly and easily, as well as the power to integrate those processes end to end across the enterprise. But these advantages also shift responsibility for validation from IT to the business, introducing new risks and organizational challenges.Tue, 25 Oct 2011 08:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5260/Building-Highly-Effective-OnOffshore-QA-Teams/offshore-Test-and-QA-Process-Teamshttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5260/Building-Highly-Effective-OnOffshore-QA-Teams/offshore-Test-and-QA-Process-TeamsCory Medlincorymedlin@gmail.comSripriya Kalyanasundaram, AVPtpassword@redwoodco.comoffshoreTest and QAProcessTeamsThe offshore testing model does not have to be painful or difficult, or strain the QA organization.Tue, 23 Aug 2011 08:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5263/Advanced-Software-Testing-Code-Coverage/Management-Testing-Processhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5263/Advanced-Software-Testing-Code-Coverage/Management-Testing-Processrex_black@rbcs-us.comManagementTestingProcessPreviously recorded on August 9, 2011.Tue, 23 Aug 2011 08:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5210/The-Psychopolitics-of-Test-Management/Web-Management-Testing-Processhttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5210/The-Psychopolitics-of-Test-Management/Web-Management-Testing-Processrex_black@rbcs-us.comWebManagementTestingProcessPreviously recorded on July 7, 2011Wed, 20 Jul 2011 10:00:00 -0600http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5204/Eclipse-for-Testers/Technology-Software-Agile-Performance-Services-Development-Functional-Integration-Open-Source-Process-Testing-Unit-Mobile-Web-Toolshttp://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5204/Eclipse-for-Testers/Technology-Software-Agile-Performance-Services-Development-Functional-Integration-Open-Source-Process-Testing-Unit-Mobile-Web-Toolswerner.keil@gmx.netTechnologySoftwareAgilePerformanceServicesDevelopmentFunctionalIntegrationOpen SourceProcessTestingUnitMobileWebToolsEclipse has been one of the best IDEs for unit testing ever since its early days.
