When readying applications for release, Development and QA teams typically go through an iterative, manual process to gather detailed info about issues that are uncovered during testing and then attempt to replicate the problems before beginning the root-cause analysis and resolution process. This workflow is particularly inefficient when either or both of these IT functions are outsourced.

Using several case studies, BMC's Director of Technology, Ido Ben-Moshe, will address this issue in his session: Automating and Accelerating Your Development/Testing Workflow. Ben-Moshe will introduce a technology approach that automates and accelerates the development/testing workflow for an efficiency gain of up to 50%, thereby enabling IT teams to increase testing coverage, achieve project milestones and release dates, and bring higher-quality applications to market faster.</description><guid isPermaLink="false">{278737fe-12a-29f8-f8ea-95c5c17fa8ee}</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Aug 2007 02:07:09 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Increasing Software Development Efficiency Without Adding Headcount</title><link>http://www.identify.com/events/index.html</link><description>An on-demand webcast

Many software development organizations are finding themselves under immense pressure. On the one hand, they are required to meet ever-changing business demands and release applications within short timeframes while maintaining high quality levels. On the other hand, they face the challenge of recruiting and retaining skilled software engineers while reducing costs.

A new breed of solutions helps development managers overcome resource and workload challenges through automation of key development processes. This free webcast addresses these issues, including:

    * Software development industry trends and challenges
    * Strategies for optimizing development processes
    * Optimization in the real world – what works and what doesn’t


Speakers:

    * Rüdiger Spies, IDC analyst
    * Eldad Maniv, VP of Product Management at BMC Software


Note: Webcast presented in English, though registration form is in German.</description><guid isPermaLink="false">{fc3fd8eb-651b-2d0d-860f-81cc66555487}</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Aug 2007 02:06:52 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Reinventing App Development: Pumping Up Productivity While Meeting Segregation of Duties Requirements</title><link>http://www.identify.com/events/index.html</link><description>An on-demand webcast

Development teams usually spend 40% or more of their time resolving application problems. One reason for this productivity loss is that problem resolution is an iterative, manual process. Current trends, such as SOA and regulatory compliance issues make the problem worse by complicating data gathering and problem recreation.

In this e-seminar, we will discuss these trends and an innovative technology approach that automates and accelerates problem resolution processes to deliver productivity improvements of 20% or more – a technology that a recent product review called, "a marvelous experience that would make any developer or QA engineer salivate." Through real-world examples, the webinar will demonstrate how organizations have re-invested the expanded productivity of the application development organization into additional testing for improved quality, developing new features to drive the business forward, or accelerating release schedules to gain a time-to-market advantage over competitors.
