Coding

The adoption of Agile development practices has increased as software developers strive to keep pace with customer and market demands. However, to fully realize the benefits of Agile, a repeatable process for creating secure, defect-free code is critical.

Organizations often fail to realize the pivotal role static source code analysis plays in enhancing software quality and security. Without this level of code analysis, critical vulnerabilities can be exploited after release and coding mistakes can cause inventory turnaround, resulting in serious expenses.

This paper will examine the implementation and demonstrate the benefits of eqDRC through a variety of examples comparing traditional DRC with eqDRC approaches.

The purpose of deduplication is to provide more storage, particularly backup storage, for less money, right? Then wouldn't it be ridiculous if deduplication vendors were demanding that their customers pay more per terabyte of storage? Or if they were simply pushing the task of integrating, monitoring, and managing deduplication back onto their users?

Businesses can gain greater value from their BI investment by improving the way in which data flows to the BI system are managed. Many problems result when the ETL process is handled by a patchwork of scripting, custom coding, and various built-in schedulers that are part of existing ETL solutions, because these systems do not provide end-to-end execution, monitoring, and control of the ETL process.

Steganography is the science of hiding data inside of items, such as sound and picture files.  Listen to this podcast to learn more about steganography and the potential IT security concerns it poses.

The Actional architecture enables end-to-end transaction monitoring and alerting as well as fast root cause analysis-with cost-effective scalability and high performance. This paper presents a detailed description of the unique technology that makes these and other key characteristics possible.

The path to creating a secure application begins by rigorously testing source code for all vulnerabilities and ensuring that use of the application does not compromise or allow others to compromise data privacy and integrity.

Discover how to complete more application integration projects by delivering in days what used to take months of custom programming.  Find out how an appliance-based approach to application integration uses “configuration, not coding” to dramatically simplify and accelerate integration projects, while cutting costs by up to 80%.

Discover why traditional software and custom coding solutions are obsolete when solving integration problems in a SaaS environment and how they’re rapidly being replaced by Integration Appliances that use “configuration, not coding” to quickly integrate your SaaS applications with your business-critical data.

Traditionally companies had just two choices for their integration needs, complex and expensive platforms like EAI or write custom code. Learn about the "hidden costs" of custom code and discover five reasons why companies are switching to Integration Appliances that use a simple “configuration, not coding” approach to integration.

Traditionally companies had only two choices for integrating SAP solutions, complex and expensive platforms like EAI or write custom code. Integration Appliances offer companies a third option, one that dramatically simplifies and accelerates SAP integration by using a “configuration, not coding” approach to rapidly connect SAP applications with a wide variety of applications, without burdening specialist resources.

In recent years many email marketers have avoided HTML emails fearing deliverability issues and lower response rates. But HTML emails only create problems when they are coded or designed the wrong way. HTML problems can easily be avoided with a little guidance. Here's a definitive guide that even the most experienced marketers will find essential for developing HTML emails that get desired results.

Capital markets have complex, data-intensive front-office environments that change in milliseconds. To survive and differentiate themselves, companies need predictable, high-performance technical solutions. They also must control costs. Until now, satisfying both of these requirements was a difficult challenge. Standards-based Java technology could not meet low-latency demands, while C/C++ solutions inflated costs. Oracle JRockit Real Time solves this problem.

This white paper explains how a business rule management system can make business process automation easier to understand, maintain and manage. Compare BRMS with other business automation schemes, like traditonal software coding or standard business rule engines. Learn how the Welsh Assembly Government and a United States commercial lender have implemented business rules to make a difference in their business processes.

Learn how to deliver lean business process management (BPM) via collaborative process-centric web applications inexpensively and quickly.  You can develop applications in days rather than months, deploy in minutes and get a quick return on that precious IT investment. Define processes easily, and get them online quickly. Mashup technology for lean BPM makes it simple to build collaborative process-centric applications, without coding.

Lean BPM is focused on radically simplifying how business processes and management are delivered. Processes are designed quickly and easily by the business user closest to the problem. Working solutions are delivered incrementally to your users in record time. Serena delivers the easiest business process development. No coding. No consultants. No kidding.

Learn the benefits and advantages of using text analysis to gain the most value from your surveys.

With cost often viewed as one of the major reasons to adopt open source technologies, the return on investment (ROI) of open source must be determined precisely when looking at deploying data integration solutions.

Master Data Management (MDM) has received growing attention recently as an essential component of information management alongside data governance and data quality. More and more, organizations are turning to Master Data Management as a key enabler in improving the timeliness, quality and reliability of business intelligence with the ultimate goal of improving business performance. Increasing regulatory requirements and the recent financial crisis have ensured that Master Data Management is increasingly finding its way onto the business agenda. Information Difference conducted a survey of both end-user organizations and systems integrators aimed at gaining deeper insight into MDM implementations and their success factors. This report summarizes and analyzes the results of that survey, and presents practical recommendations on the "do and don't" of MDM. It also contains some enlightening findings on the use of open source and manual coding in MDM projects.

Smart printers are a smart investment. They eliminate the need for computers dedicated to controlling them, can act as PLCs to run other devices on production lines, enable fool-proof and error-proof bar code printing, and provide investment protection with advanced features like XML printing and RFID label encoding.

Drive quality earlier in the development process with continuous testing. Large development organizations have increasingly been adopting select agile practices to enable faster development, create more reliable software, and reduce costs. Chief among these practices is providing developers early and frequent feedback from users, from other developers, and especially from the programming, build, and test tools. In the latter category, continuous integration and continuous testing are emerging as valuable techniques for identifying errors early so they can be corrected immediately by the developer who made the code changes.

In this whitepaper I argue that the person most affected by the introduction of agile or extreme programming techniques is not the software or quality assurance engineer, but the build manager. And the build manager can no longer make do with home grown tools; software production automation tools are required to make agile development a build reality.

Moving to C++ presents opportunities for higher programmer productivity. The requirements of embedded systems, however, demand that the adoption of C++ be carefully measured for the performance impact of run-time costs present in C++, but not in C. This talk suggests strategies for developers who are starting their acquaintance with C++.
