[White Paper] Adding Mainframe Focus to End-to-End Application Performance Management
Description:
This white paper is written for CIOs and IT executives tasked with providing a strategic vision for delivering high-quality business applications at a reasonable price. It addresses high-level objectives, such as aligning IT with the business, improving IT service quality, and reducing IT costs, and also provides a structure for addressing tactically-oriented challenges, such as superior end-to-end application performance management. The paper discusses end-to-end application performance management in the context of the impact to the business.
It then highlights CA's application quality and performance management solutions for both Web and mainframe applications, with particular focus on the integration of CA Wily with AQM Solutions' TRILOGexpert APC for TriTune with Performance Desktop. This combination opens up the "black box" of Web-to-mainframe transactions, providing visibility essential to the process of effectively addressing end-to-end application performance management. It concludes with the Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) perspective on the market in general, and on the CA solution in particular.

[White Paper] Application Quality Lifecycle: Security, Functional and Performance Testing
Description:
Web applications must be built with improved security features to fulfill their economic promise and protect organizations against liability and loss. HP QAInspect delivers automated security information that QA professionals and software testers can access at any point in the application development process to identify and remediate potential security defects.
The benefits of function- performance- and security -testing within a single development process reach across all levels of an organization. For developers, it means much less time spent on patches for existing products and more time building new products or features.
The overall development cycle becomes a verifiable and defensible best-practices environment in which documentation of sound security oversight helps prove corporate regulatory compliance and defend against potential tort liability. QA regains control over a critical area of what customers consider to be an essential part of application quality. Security staff become advisors, not adversaries, within the development process.
There is a better way to build and test web applications. HP QAInspect's automated, integrated approach to application security testing is the key to this smarter, faster, better way to move essential business operations online-quickly, safely, and securely.

[White Paper] Application Monitoring: Best Practices for Application Performance
Description:
A majority of applications fail at some point due to both expected and unexpected quality errors. Without an effective monitoring system, organizations are unable to identify and provide actionable alerts in real-time when errors are detected. They are then unable to ensure optimal application availability and reliability.
This white paper explores approaches for effectively monitoring business applications to ensure they achieve optimal performance and uptime. Discover the various expected and unexpected application errors that can arise during software development. Learn why an effective monitoring solution for line of business applications should be based on an always-on approach that combines reactive and proactive techniques to detect both expected and unexpected errors. Explore a practical example of how an actual organization implemented en effective monitoring solution to achieve enhanced application performance.

[White Paper] Customer Best Practices: Manual & Component Based Testing Methods
White Paper Description:
The goal of functional testing is simply to ensure that an application works as it should from the end user's perspective. Manual functional testing calls upon business analysts and testers to capture user requirements, prepare test plans, and document their interactions with the application in order to validate the software's operations. Through test automation, functional test scripts that have already been validated can be quickly applied to every application that uses that particular component of software, so more tests can be done in less time.
There are many myths about both manual and automated functional testing. Many people believe that test automation is too expensive relative to its value; therefore it should be used rarely if at all. Others (such as agile developers) insist that automation of 100 percent of all tests is the ultimate objective.
This paper is not intended as a primer on implementation best practices, but here are a few "lessons learned" and considerations for the companies considering the move to Mercury Business Process Testing.
- Start with Mercury Business Process Testing for Manual Testing
- Don't jump to the keyword-driven model prematurely
- Don't scrimp on training
- Give Mercury your feedback
