The Definitive Guide to Quality Application Delivery

Sponsored by Compuware

The Definitive Guide to Quality Application Delivery focuses on the whole picture of improving quality in your applications, starting from the requirements and design phase and continuing through development and testing. Common myths are examined and dispelled, including the myth that simply purchasing software testing tools will instantly make quality better for everyone. Quality, you'll learn, is about far more than bugs. The perception of quality starts with an application's ability to efficiently solve business needs, and this book constructs a whole new approach to quality that focuses on the alignment of software with the business as a primary quality indicator. Putting the business in the "driver's seat," ending the vicious cycle of software disappointment, and sticking to a truly business-focused approach to design, development, and testing - these are the keys to quality application delivery.
