Seven ways to fail: the business risk of inadequate testing

Network conditions affect the performance of applications in many ways. Research suggests that 70% of mobile transaction response time is spent on the network. This reality intensifies the need for comprehensive testing of software before applications go into production. Unfortunately, some common approaches to performance testing suffer from critical weaknesses that leave your business at risk.

Develop and test faster by virtualising constrained application components

Today’s consumers have grown up with the expectation that their digital experience is mobile, always-on, and easily enhanced. Consequently, we face a new style of IT that forces everyone involved in building, validating, and delivering applications to find new solutions for decreasing time to market, reducing defects in production, shortening software development cycle times, and enabling constrained testing teams to increase test coverage.

Cheat Sheet: Mobility and Your Remote Workforce

Today, many employees work outside of the office either in remote/branch offices, telecommuting, or simply working from the road. With tight IT budgets and staff tied up with day-to-day administrative chores, workers need laptops and notebooks that are secure, without jeopardizing manageability and reliability. In this way, they can then conduct business anywhere without exposing the company to risk from evolving and more sophisticated phishing attacks, malicious software, and growing cyber threats.
