Research and experience have shown that the cost of finding and removing defects grows exponentially with the quality of the code. That is, as each defect is removed, the cost of finding and removing the next defect increases. At what point does the increased cost of debugging grow too great? Read on to learn more. 

This white paper discusses the growing internal threats to business information, the impact of government regulations on the protection of data and how enterprises must adopt database security best practices to prevent sensitive customer data. 

The DataFlux Accelerator for Commodity Coding is an innovative technology built on an easy-to-follow process, the steps in this process provide a blueprint to address product data quality issues, regardless of the originating application. 

This paper will demonstrate that several of the core principles of Agile cannot be fully realized without implementing a repeatable process for ensuring code that is as bug-free as possible. 

This paper talks about why it's important to take a proactive approach to improving overall code quality using static and dynamic analysis. It then shows how IBM Rational Software Analyzer and IBM Rational PurifyPlus software can be used together to reduce the number of defects in your company's code. 

This white paper is an excerpt from the book "Scaling Software Agility: Best Practices for Large Enterprises", and describes the iteration pattern and activities that a team engages in to create tested, value-delivered code in a short time box. 

This session explores strategies that Prototype users can employ to write code that works in the real world. 

This white paper will explain how MEMS are used for bar code scanning, the reliability and performance advantages MEMS scanners have over traditional lasers, and the opportunities and limitations for using MEMS-based scanners. 

This paper describes how WindowTester Pro software is used to solve the problems associated with testing all elements of an application’s GUI. 

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) enables different programs, applications, and tools to interact via self-contained services that do not depend on the context or state of the other service. This white paper provides insight into the top-four worst practices for SOA integration, and how to avoid and/or overcome these worst practices. 

CodePro AnalytiX is a comprehensive set of software analysis tools composed of a collection of native Eclipse plugins. It seamlessly integrates into any Eclipse-based Java desktop development environment, adding code audit, security analysis, metrics, test generation, JUnit test editing, code coverage and team collaboration functionality. 

This whitepaper will explore best practices for green IT and how Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) can help companies achieve green IT processes for software application management. Specifically, ALM solutions can help IT organizations reduce energy consumption and costs associated with multi-site software development.
