The increasing cost of quality and development complexity while balancing quality and speed has become extremely challenging for software projects. Development teams are delivering applications faster which is driving a need for change in the world of testing. Listen to this podcast and get a preview on how the world of testing is changing and what solutions are available today to help. Register for the upcoming thought leadership webcast, "Boost software quality and development agility" to learn more about how technologies such as virtualization and the cloud enable continuous integration testing much earlier in the development cycle.

Bringing the power of social software to software development teams provides many new collaboration capabilities that allow you to identify, connect with, and exchange ideas with a wide community of business and technical stakeholders, partners, and end users. For example you can find out what's happening in your community, blogs, wikis, and activities; search for contacts based on their experience, skills, or key relationships and publish key developer activities to the wider community. Mac Guidera and Rolf Nelson, speakers.

Government by design is the application of strategic planning to provide a comprehensive view of the entire government agency. Repeatable processes help analyze the portfolio of capabilities and resources relating to their strategy and priorities; capture the current state of programs, services and technology and; identify the gaps between what exists and what is needed. The Government by Design approach leverages information to create a plan producing the best outcomes for your organization and citizens. Tammy Kulesa and Jim Amsden, speakers.

Most utilities are undergoing changes in their business process and enterprise management area, in order to offer fully integrated data and information across customers, municipalities, and, the utilities themselves. An example is the electric industry, where a set of best practices are prompted through a set of standards from IEC, SGIP, and other agencies. IEC CIM is a set of Electrical energy standards based on modeling of the data and information related to the Smart Grid. Inherent with data-centric design standards such as the IEC CIM, are a set of Business Architecture and Processes which need to be managed in conjunction with technical standards, in order to achieve success in the journey towards transformation. Irv Badr, speaker.
