The Test Maturity Model Integration (TMMi) is a framework that is developed to complement the existing Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). It provides a structured presentation of maturity levels, allowing for standard TMMi assessments and certification. It enables a consistent deployment of the standards and collection of industry metrics. The TMMi has a rapidly growing [...]

The resources for cloud computing are generally made available through applications with web interfaces that provide functionality to allocate, configure, and maintain the resources. Hence cloud computing adds some ambiguity to the systems hosting your applications causing some concerns around performance and security. And for this reason any cloud integration should have a comprehensive performance [...]

The environment and global warming pose a disastrous threat, hence organizations world wide focus on reducing energy wastage, CO2 and other greenhouse gas pollution. The IT world is no exception; testing and test professionals too play a pivotal role in reducing the impact of this threat.
Unfortunately due to timeline issues testing gets squeezed [...]

Insurance sectors opt to shift to SOA applications for the benefits it offers, good news indeed. These significant benefits could be hugely advantageous when organizations identify and mitigate risks. This involves failsafe quality assurance and testing procedures around the architecture. This will minimize the number of defects that could have significant impact on the bottom [...]

Cloud computing, though is a viable alternative, firms get skeptic when security, reliability and manageability come into the picture. Hence a rigorous testing is mandated. So testers hone your skills, cause Gartner predicts that by 2012 80% of fortune 1000 enterprises will pay for some cloud computing service, while 30% of them will pay for [...]

Gall’s Law: “A simple system may or may not work. A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.”

The intensity of global warming is aggravating with every passing day, and so is the environmental condition. Even the IT Industry is reputed to issue 2% of the world’s CO2 emissions (the same as the much maligned airline industry). Hence emerges the need to reduce energy wastage, CO2 and other greenhouse gas pollution. The IT [...]
