Assessing application development like the rest of the business
Well overdue, it is time to measure application development and
maintenance the same way as the rest of the business, based on not just how much work someone does, but how well they do the work. As we know, looking to see if the code works as expected is only a single measurement. Knowing how easy it will be to maintain over time, how flexible it is to change as required by business changes, how quickly new team members can understand the code and get working on it and how easily the application can be tested are just some of the things that we need to look at in order to understand the real quality of the work being done by application development teams. When these measurements are combined with ways of counting the productivity (quantity) of development teams, we can get a real understanding of how well the teams are performing and what return is being realized from the investment. These measurements can be assessed both for in-house development organizations as well as the work being done by outsourcers.
The applications delivered by IT are a significant differentiator between competitors and therefore it needs to be managed as a core business process. Held up against corporate standards and no matter how or where the development work is done, it must be done well and the resulting applications need to be able to withstand time.

This document discusses performance and scalability in cloud computing. It notes that poor application performance can negatively impact businesses by reducing customer retention, employee productivity and revenue. When moving applications to the cloud, businesses must ensure performance is optimized. To address performance issues, companies should first isolate non-cloud factors like network access speed and then test application performance on the cloud platform to identify any differences from the data center. Optimizing applications for the cloud architecture is important. The document also discusses various approaches to scalability in cloud environments and how Joyent offers solutions to aid application performance and scalability.

This document presents a business case for adopting Real Application Testing (RAT) to test upgrades and patches for a large insurance company's data warehousing system. It estimates that using RAT could reduce testing labor hours by 41% and yield a payback period of less than 12 months due to savings in upgrade costs, monthly patching costs, and production support costs. Adopting RAT could potentially provide even greater savings if it was used to test all 53 applications in the system or reduce issues across all patch upgrades.

With every passing day, organizations are becoming more and more mindful about the performance of their Software Products. However, most of them still on look-out for the basics of Performance Engineering.
According to a recent study by Gartner, fixing performance defects near the end of the development cycle costs 50 to 100 times more than the cost required for fixing it during the early phase of development. Hence, if a product suffers from serious performance issues it can be completely scrapped.
Performance Engineering ensures that your application is performing as per expectations and the software is tested and tuned to meet specified or even the unstated performance requirements.
We present you with a webcast on Performance Engineering Basics that would walk you through the elements and process of performance engineering, and also offers a methodical process for the same.

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:
⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality?
⦿ Why is patent quality important?
⦿ How to balance quality and budget
⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise

Industry Trends Application owners often ask the following: Does my application scale to meet business goals? 75% of ERP systems fail to do so (Gartner) Does my application scale to meet business goals? 70% of performance problems can be resolved by configuration changes (survey of 3,000 HP/Mercury engagements) Can I resolve application bottlenecks? 40% of app bottlenecks are first noticed by a customer or executive (Mercury Survey) $2B + spent in app server overcapacity from 2001 to 2003 (Gartner) Have I overspent on infrastructure?
4. One Platform Solution T3 works to empower Business, Quality Assurance, and Development teams to deliver better software by centralizing all aspects of testing and performance management. “ Bringing the pieces together” Become Performance center of excellence Centralize performance testing and monitoring tools Global Performance testing execution capability Focus on quick “cost savings” wins! Reduce dependency on expensive consultancy QUICK START- Bring automation in quickly that addresses an immediate need. Reduce infrastructure support for testing Take a ‘value’ approach and network it Forge alliances & partnerships Leverage vendor Purchasing Power
5. Performance Approach Phase-driven approach to Performance Optimization Phase 1: Plan Fully Plan the project Organize the Team Determine the business goals Define the business process Inventory HW, SW and network Identify key participants Mobilize test team Create test plan Agree execution schedule Phase 2: Baseline Quantify the System Performance Create test cases Deploy monitoring agents Run initial test plan Document the baseline profile Compare baseline with target Phase 3: Optimize Iteratively Isolate and Reduce Bottlenecks Emulate production load Monitor system performance Identify problem areas Analyze root cause Determine resolution Apply modification Assess the Performance Improvements and Report Phase 4: Report Document improved throughput Increased capacity reduced error rate greater stability better user response time Compare with baseline and target Produce findings/recommendations Retain data for future comparison
7. Automated Performance Testing Web Server App. Server Database Internet/ WAN Controller User Simulation PERFORMANCE MONITORS Replaces real users with thousands of virtual users Generates consistent, measurable, and repeatable load, managed from a single point of control Efficiently isolates performance bottlenecks across all tiers/layers with automated reporting and analyses
8. Types of Performance Testing Stress Testing Capacity Planning Throughput Improvement Server Consolidation Baseline Assessment New Version Impact Analysis Ensure Business Performance
9. Application Monitoring 98% of sites experience critical performance problems Typical applications encounter problems at 15% of design capacity Problems occur both inside & outside firewall 25% - network and bandwidth related 23% - application server related 20% - load balancers, web server or proxy server issues Source: Mercury Interactive hosted services Application Management monitors the entire infrastructure from the users perspective!
