Database Development

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.

In this webinar Black Duck Software (www.blackducksoftware.com), together with representatives of SAP, will review the benefits open source offers to development organizations, the management challenges it presents, and approaches for addressing those challenges.

"Agile" software development is an increasingly popular development process for producing software in a flexible and iterative manner that can deliver value to the enterprise faster, reduce project risk and allow adaptation to changes more quickly.

This free white paper details key steps for achieving a superior data management strategy-a 'must have' capability for applications to operate with extreme, predictable performance and scalability.

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.
