SOA Knowledge Kit, Developer Productivity and Performance Comparison Analysis

SOA Knowledge Kit 2011How To Evaluate Highly Scalable SOA Component ArchitectureNovember 29, 2011The Results Are In: Developer Productivity and Performance Comparison AnalysisPushToTest implemented a multi-step business workflow on Oracle, IBM, and TIBCOplatforms to surface developer productivity and application performance differences. Theresults are ideal lessons and patterns for enterprise architects, development managers,and business managers.In this Workshop, PushToTest will present a developers journal of lessons learned andmetrics to compare costs, as well as load and performance results. They will also explorewhy platform choices count – covering the planning, expertise, and knowledge requiredto quickly and flexibly build and deploy highly scalable applications.Not only will they cover the results of the study and the open-sourced code and materialsto run the tests, they will also share the methodology used so you can apply thisknowledge and evaluate the results in your own environment.Come to this Workshop to learn the results. Take the SOA Knowledge Kit back to yourorganization to make the best decisions with the latest information.http://soakit.pushtotest.comfcohen@pushtotest.com
