Automating End-to-End Business Scenario TestingTechWell
Allstate Insurance had a problem. While thoroughly testing each of their more than thirty business systems, they were still failing to provide good service to their clients, agents, and internal customers. The reason was simple. Implementing end-to-end business processes requires more than just running data through a set of separate systems. While focusing on automating unit, integration, and system testing, they had failed to consider the need for system-to-system integration tests―tests that would verify that their business systems passed data correctly, met interface expectations, and synchronized properly. Monika Mehrotra and Sandra Alequin describe how Allstate, with the assistance of Infosys, supplemented their existing test suites with a set of end-to-end tests that provided deeper test coverage, demonstrating proper system operation from beginning to end. In addition, Allstate implemented a test environment that more closely resembled their production environment, discovering defects that had previously escaped into daily operation. Learn the importance of end-to-end, not just piecemeal testing.

Your network is your business, so downtime and performance degradations are mission-critical problems, affecting productivity, revenue, and relationships with customers and partners. Combine this with a widely distributed workforce and the accompanying widely distributed network infrastructure of most modern companies, and the challenges of real-time network management and troubleshooting seem overwhelming. However, by building distributed, intelligent network analysis that includes your remote offices, vital information for management and troubleshooting is always at your fingertips.
WildPackets is leading the charge with its Omni Distributed Analysis Platform. Join this webinar to see how WildPackets provides visibility across your entire network, from data centers to remote offices, providing highly distributed network analysis and troubleshooting with a single, distributed cost-effective solution.
Test Data Management: A Healthcare Industry Case StudyTechWell
As IT systems increase in both scale and complexity, delivering quality applications becomes more challenging. In addition to creating and executing test scenarios, testers need to create and maintain the test data that enables test execution. Test data management (TDM) creates and processes data in test environments using business knowledge and technology. Test data is created based on requirements provided from consumers. With TDM in your software delivery process, teams dependent on data can focus on creating and executing test scenarios instead of having to provision the data to run these tests. Shaheer Mohammed and Jatinder Singh present a case study that recaps the successful creation of a TDM team. They review what worked well, share lessons learned along the way, touch on the challenges of managing protected data in the health-care industry, and discuss innovative tools and processes that enabled their success.
It’s no wonder ECM adoption is a struggle for so many organizations. According to a recent survey, 72% of organizations rely on support calls or logged incidents to find problems in their ECM system. Relying on end-users to report issues not only results in a vicious cycle of fire-fighting but also lost productivity and poor user satisfaction. This slideshare discusses:
•The three (3) steps you need to take to get ahead of issues and ensure your end users are NOT doing your QA
•Real-life case studies of how companies improved customer satisfaction and kept their Tier 1 applications running at optimal levels
•Industry statistics that may surprise you
Revealing ECM Industry Statistics:
•72% of organizations rely on support calls or incidents to alert them to system problems
•Systems with 1000+ users create 60-150 support tickets per month
•Only 16% of organizations are able to proactively prevent performance issues for 80% or more performance incidents.
•More than 74% of all business service related issues are reported by the end users.
•End-to-end visibility into application performance is 89% more likely to prevent incidents where IT is not aware of the problem, prior to end-user complaint.
The only way to move from a constant reactive state is to get proactive in the management of your ECM applications. This can be achieved in three steps (Reveille screenshots provided to show each step in action):
1. Test the ECM Platform
•Verify the entire ECM infrastructure (client to application server to database)
•Set thresholds for alerts
•Automate resolution of common issues
Net Benefits
•Kiss “eyes on glass” monitoring goodbye
•Accelerate problem identification & remediation
•Keep applications running & revenue flowing
2. Understand the End-User Experience
•Don’t just rely on tests; measure real end user experience
•Quantify what “slow” means
•Set thresholds for internal alerts
Net Benefits
•Understand usage volumes for capacity planning
•Reduce time recreating issues
•Decrease user complaints
3. Trend, Report, Communicate and Continuously Improve
•Identify and track key performance metrics
•Evaluate KPI trends over time
•Provide detailed reports to ECM team and roll-up reports to LOB and other stakeholders
Net Benefits
•Take the fire hat off and provide strategic recommendations
•Reduce the burden on your application support team; focus on higher value priorities
•Boost team morale with success
Real-life use cases discussed, with results including:
•Reduced trouble tickets by over 50%
•Proactively identified issues prior to end-user discovery/impact
•Eliminated upgrade bottlenecks with KPIs
•Reallocated 2 FTE’s to higher priority work
•Time to resolution decreased for 30 minutes to 10 minutes
•Reveille addressed resource constraint

How to consolidate Citrix Monitoring in a Single Pane of GlasseG Innovations
A recent survey by eG Innovations and xenappblog found that 68% of organizations are using 2-5 different tools for monitoring and managing their Citrix infrastructure. Multiple monitoring tools make it expensive to operate and troubleshoot IT infrastructure issues. Furthermore, a lot of manual effort is required to diagnose and fix performance issues.
Join Richard Faulkner, Enterprise Solutions Architect and CTP from Conversant Group, and John Worthington, Director of Customer Success at eG Innovations, and learn how you can get a single-pane-of-glass view of your Citrix infrastructure – from the client end to the virtual desktops/apps and even the backend applications.
See how you can:
--Monitor and get proactive alerts on the experience seen by Citrix users
--Track the performance of every layer and every tier of your Citrix infrastructure: NetScalers, StoreFronts, Virtual apps and desktops, WEM, PVS, License servers, etc.
--Troubleshoot in a single click and identify where the root-cause of a problem is: network, or storage, or virtualization, or the Citrix stack?
--Get insights to right-size and optimize your Citrix deployment
Performance issues are regularly caught too late leading to increased cost for fixing. We propose a process on how to make performance testing lightweight, execute it on early stages, reduce time and cost of fixes. Applying the same principal that we use for functional testing, performance testing could be integrated in CI/CD pipeline. Learn more about CPT in our blog: https://blog.griddynamics.com/what-is-continuous-performance-testing-and-why-it-is-needed
