Taking Services Outside the Firewall - How to Create Business-Level Services
Wouldn't it be useful for your business partners or clients to reuse that "pay with credit card" Web service you just built? Unfortunately, publishing a Web service outside the firewall isn't always practical. In this presentation from iWay Software, you'll learn how to create business-level services that can be extended to partners, suppliers, and clients through a variety of standard, proprietary, and quick-and-dirty methods. It will include a case study that shows how big clients and small clients can be supported through exactly the same architecture -- securely and reliably.

Taming the Tornado: How to Manage File-Based Integration
The fastest way to integrate systems is by slinging files from one to the other. Unfortunately, it's not very manageable or agile. How do you strike a balance between pragmatic integration and the perfect architecture? This presentation will take a candid look at the issues around existing file-based integration problems -- whether internal or business-to-business -- and how to create quick file-based implementations that fit into a solid architecture and won't hamstring you in the long run.

Crackers and Pirates – Your Worst Enemies or Best Business Partners? New Approaches to Defining Your Anti-Piracy Strategy
Jeffrey Bedser, president and COO of Internet Crimes Group, will provide the latest intelligence on the dynamics of software piracy and will describe the details of how an ISV's newly released application is cracked and made available for download at a tenth of its list price or less. You will see examples of how the cracker's
"production," "testing," and "distribution channels" mirror those of the ISVs and the resulting economic impact.
In addition to exploring the inner workings of the "piracy world," Victor DeMarines, VP, Products, V.i. Labs will also discuss:
Different anti-piracy tactics used by vendors and organizations to respond to piracy
Key criteria for deciding which strategy is best for your organization
Capitalizing on "crackers and pirates" for lead generation
When technology solutions should be used to slow piracy and lessen its impact

Fuzzing First: Customers are Not Crash Test Dummies
Security today is part of quality assurance practices, or at least it should be. But in quality assurance, everything should be measurable before it is meaningful. One of the arguments author David Rice makes in his book "Geekonomics" is the importance of making security visible in the market place; that is, buyers can price their risk through some easy to comprehend metric. But before that, at least the manufacturers of software have to understand the required metrics. Today, David's talk touches on security metrics, their importance, and their use in software purchasing practices.
Fuzzing is about crash-testing your software, instead of using consumers as crash test dummies. Fuzzing is a compelling solution to eliminating cyber security problems. Fuzzing is not new, it has been used actively by the security community since 1990s. What is new is how fuzzing is used in a business context: fuzzing is being employed as part of procurement criteria to compare the security and quality of software and thus influence purchasing decisions. Metrics in this field are still immature, but Ari Takanen will give a brief look at where we are today.

Open Source Uncovered, what a Department of Homeland Security Scan Reveals about Open Source
We invite you to join David Maxwell, Coverity's open source strategist as well as an open source developer on the NetBSD project as he reviews how the open source projects at the Scan site have leveraged static analysis to improve their code.
Maxwell will also present original analysis based on data collected by the Scan site regarding overall code quality in open source projects, common defect types and many other findings based on the aggregate, daily evaluation of more than 50 million lines of open source code from early 2006 to 2008.

Managing Up: Communicating the Value of Testing Throughout the Organization
Test managers constantly lament that few outside their group understand or care much about the value they provide and consistently deliver. Unfortunately, they are often correct. The lack of visibility and understanding of the test team’s contribution can lead to restricted budgets, fewer resources, tighter timelines, and ultimately, lower group productivity. Join Theresa Lanowitz and Dan Koloski as they highlights ways to move from simply being a tester of software to an advocate for your organization’s customers. Learn how to effectively and concisely communicate with key stakeholders in your organization to ensure that they understand the value and role of the testing group. With effective and concise communication, the testing group will be perceived as more strategically important and integral to the success of every project.

Creating Milestones For Better Software Project Predictability
Software projects are notorious for overrunning their schedules, resulting in chaos and pressure for the development team, loss of confidence for management, and inefficiency for the company. This webcast will show how you can reduce schedule uncertainty using short, 14-day milestones. Combining the agile development concepts of a sprint and continuous integration , this simple, iterative approach creates a predictable "heartbeat" for development that motivates engineers, improves quality and provides accurate forecasts for overall project completion.

Three Steps to SOA Trust: Testing, Validation and Virtualization
Adopting a service-oriented approach allows companies "do more with less" and gain agility, by integrating new and existing technologies around business goals. However, dancing with SOA comes with an increase the level of complexity in ensuring quality across the lifecycle of these highly interdependent and heterogeneous applications. Often, development and QA teams do not even have access to all of the components they need to design and develop Services that meet the expected business goals. This webinar will provide best practices and real-world examples of teams that are taking three key steps on the road to SOA, and gaining sure footing as well as trust across teams. Testing: Continuous testing of the application to ensure that all components are meeting expected service levels of Performance, Reliability and Scalability. Validation: Invoking and verifying that business behaviors are being carried out accurately not just at the Service layer, but within systems of record. Virtualization: Freeing teams from the burden of dependency on live applications by allowing them to flexibly simulate their behavior in their own environment
