Testing Strategies for Ensuring the Success of Mobile Applications
Daniel Hartveld, Red Ant; Amichai Lesser, Shunra; Toby Marsden, Hewlett Packard
The use of mobile applications to conduct day to day business is set to increase exponentially over the next few years. Jupiter Research estimates that 1 in 8 will use mobile ticketing in 2015 and up to 1 billion will access financial services. Yet many companies have yet to develop a robust testing strategy for mobile applications
Testing mobile applications is complex. Not only do test teams have to validate the functionality of the mobile application, they also have to consider their performance under load as well as across multiple devices, carriers, operating systems and geographies. This requires test teams to adapt existing test methodologies and processes to ensure consistent behaviour across many environments
Challenges include:
-Evaluating the need for emulator-based or real device testing solutions
-Coping with varying bandwidth and user loads
-Identifying optimization opportunities for mobile application clients and infrastructure to ensure that applications remain responsive under challenging mobile network conditions and increasing load
-Post-release monitoring
Join HP, Shunra and Red Ant for a lively and interactive panel debate where we will be discussing the business impact of mobile functionality and performance across various sectors including finance, automotive, retail and consumer goods. In addition the experts panel will discuss best practices in implementing a mobile performance engineering framework to ensure companies are successful with their mobility projects.

Optimizing Disaster Recovery for the Software Defined Data Center
Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology, Leupold and Stevens and Jennifer Gill, Director of Product Marketing, Zerto
Recorded:
May 16 2013
34 mins
Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology at Leupold and Stevens was looking for a disaster recovery (DR) solution that would extend the flexibility of virtualization to his DR environment. The solution had to deliver enterprise-class support for his mission critical applications: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and SharePoint and various CAD programs. The board of directors was specifically asking what the current solution was and what service levels could the infrastructure deliver.
Zerto Virtual Replication installed seamlessly into their existing infrastructure, did not require any data center updates and is fully integrated into VMware vCenter.
With Zerto Virtual Replication he was able to:
- Realize very aggressive service levels – recovery point objectives of seconds and recovery time objectives of minutes
- Deliver a better ROI with a DR solution that is hardware agnostic
- Increase team productivity with a very simple solution
- Quickly cross-train additional staff on DR processes and procedures
- Optimize flexibility as changes to the environment required changes to the DR strategy
- Test and validate the DR failover process without taking primary production systems offline
Join Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology at Leupold and Stevens and Jennifer Gill, Director of Product Marketing at Zerto, to hear from your peers and learn about Zerto Virtual Replication. -
Why Your Cloud Provider Security Logo Doesn’t Mean a Thing
Dennis Hurst, Application Security, HP Fortify; Ryan English, Global Director, HP Fortify on Demand Team
Recorded:
May 16 2013
49 mins
As more applications have moved to the cloud, the industry has seen a proliferation of application security issues. In 2012, several cloud service providers were breached as a direct result of application security vulnerabilities. Before you choose a cloud service provider, make sure that it answers the series of security questions created by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). CSA has created a checklist of industry-accepted ways to document what security controls exist in IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS offerings – creating more transparency for enterprises. The speakers will walk attendees through this blueprint, helping them to become more adept at identifying service provider security readiness. They'll also discuss some of the most common application vulnerabilities, including unencrypted passwords, SQL Injection, and those that impact poorly architected mobile apps. -
Panel: In the Face of New Technology - Your Business and the Internal Audit
Norman Marks, SAP; Steve Romero, Romero Consulting; Brian Barnier, ValueBridge Advisors
Recorded:
May 16 2013
59 mins
New and disruptive technology is changing how we live and work. It is no longer just the infrastructure of our organization, providing tools and information with which to run our business, it has become integral to many of our products and services. The deployment of technology is the #1 way in which CEOs look to gain advantage and market share, and the CIO must be a visionary leader of the organization.
The panel will discuss how this affects IT Governance. Is it still appropriate to focus on the enterprise governance of IT as a separate but important issue? Or, should the focus shift to governance of the enterprise as a whole and whether it is taking sufficient advantage of technology? Panelists will address the issue from the perspective of an IT Governance Evangelist, an advisor to boards and CFOs, and a leading internal auditor. -

The Key to Delivering Top Quality Mobile Applications to Your Customers
Recorded:
Nov 15 2012
59 mins
Fil Zanasi and Ray Tomany from HP and Jean-Pascal Duniau from SogetiMillions of people are already using mobile applications to pay their bills, book travel, and connect with the people and companies they rate. Yet mobile technology is only just being adopted by many companies and according to a study by Localytics 26% of applications downloaded are used just once before being discarded. Hardly surprising when 65% of organisation’s lack the right tools to test mobile applications and a third lack the testing methodologies, processes and specialist expertise necessary to effectively certify mobile applications.

Manual software testing doesn't have to be tedious or time consuming!
Recorded:
Oct 17 2012
52 mins
Allan Tong, Principal Consultant, SQS and Rob Stock, Pre-Sales Consultant, HP SoftwareThe first and still the most popular method for doing testing is manually. Over the past decade we have seen the increased adoption of automated testing methods to accelerate those repeatable test cases; however, we still see the vast majority of testing being done manually. Many believe, especially with the advent of development methodologies such as Agile, that full automation of tests is unlikely to be achieved as the very nature of Agile development demands a more exploratory, spontaneous testing regime.
Manual testing is often error prone, test steps are easily missed, test data is often incorrectly entered, and defects are often incorrectly captured --decreasing the overall quality of the application and increasing costs due to the associated work replication.
With HP Sprinter, manual software testing no longer needs to be tedious, error prone, or time consuming.
In this webinar SQS will outline methods of assessing if your organisation is utilizing its testing resources most effectively and HP will show how HP Sprinter software, an easy to use and low cost solution, can deliver accurate and efficient manual software testing, dramatically reducing the time needed to perform manual software tests and increases their accuracy and effectiveness.

Michael Blatt, Principal Consultant & Stephen Morrow, Principal Security Consultant, SQS. Rob Stock, Pre-Sales, HP SoftwareEnterprise applications are becoming increasingly complex. With modern applications such as mobile apps and apps leveraging Web 2.0 technologies, there are many moving parts, which can easily become points of failure if not tested prior to deployment.
Coupled with the additional issue of just how secure is the application when it is known that 75% of all data breaches from cyber attacks are at the application layer, it means that Quality Assurance teams need to quickly respond with proven solutions to these challenges but ensuring that customer satisfaction and confidence isn’t impacted.
This Webinar will look at the Strategies that clients can pursue to ensure their client facing applications are Performant and Secure and will show how they can assess these attributes through the use of the complete HP Toolset for Performance and Security being made available through the HP SaaS Model.

Make it easier for your quality assurance teams to test mobile applications
Recorded:
Oct 9 2012
62 mins
Alon Geva, VP of Sales, Perfecto Mobile. Ray Tomany, Pre-Sales, HP Software, Onsite Delivery Manager at SQS UKMore and more applications being developed today are designed for use on mobile devices. Businesses recognize that these applications create new growth channels to market and sell to a next-generation, real-time audience.
As with enterprise software applications, mobile applications are a foundation for good customer experiences, so they must adhere to the same rigid quality standards.
Mobile applications under test use entirely different methods, objects, and controls than contemporary enterprise software applications. So, in order to test mobile applications, QA teams have to test them individually for each operating system (OS) on each mobile device. Not only is this process not ergonomically friendly, but high levels of automated testing has been difficult to achieve because of the sheer volume of combinations to test.
This Webinar will look at how you can more effectively test you increasingly complex applications, which are demanding faster time to market, through automated functional and performance testing tools which have been recently enhanced for mobile testing through solutions from Perfecto.

Balancing Agility and Control: The True Path to Continuous Delivery
Recorded:
Aug 15 2012
46 mins
Hans Jörgen Dekker, QUINT; Dave West, Tasktop; Toby Marsden, HP Software; Fil Zanasi, HP SoftwareSoftware is eating the world. It is almost impossible to deliver new business capabilities without significant software innovation. Software agility directly affects business capability. Software delivery is a key business process for most organizations. But for many companies, software delivery is poorly understood and is not treated as an integrated, visible business process. Governance and control directly compete with agile methods and improved release models. To navigate to the nirvana of business agility requires a different way of approaching the whole value chain of software delivery.
This debate will discuss the following:
•What is the nirvana of software delivery?
•What are the challenges to getting there?
•What is the reality of agile development?
•How does continuous delivery fit with agile?
•What is the future of Application Lifecycle Management?
•And, how do you get there from your current position?
Join moderator Hans Jörgen Dekker, Managing Consultant at QUINT and panelists:
•Dave West: former Research Director at Forrester Research and now Chief Product Officer at Tasktop;
•Toby Marsden: Director of Application Solutions and Strategy at HP Software;
•Fil Zanasi: Financial Services Market Specialist at HP Software.
