Automating software testing with state-of-the-art tools and integrating it with the development process is moving higher on IT's priority list. In part, this is due to increased focus on testing by SOX and other compliance auditors.  

In this one-hour session, Ray Bernardi, Solutions Architect at ARCAD Software, will show you:

- a practical approach to software testing that you can actually implement in a realistic timeframe, 
- user-friendly software testing tools for regression test automation and extraction of production data, and  
- how integrated analysis, change management, and testing tools can help you work more efficiently and meet auditors' requirements.

Webinar: Easy and Reliable Multi-platform Deployment

Speaker: Ray Bernardi, Solutions Architect, ARCAD Software

View Recording 

If you're in the process of modernizing your applications, you will need to install changes and execute commands on a variety of platforms. The challenge is keeping your System i and servers based on other operating systems in synch. You will also need a single place to go to know if all components were installed successfully. 

In this one-hour session, you will learn:

- how to manage modernization efforts involving different platforms, 
- how to automate deployment of components to multiple platforms and roll back a deployment if necessary.

We will also show you how ARCAD Software handles the entire deployment process by allowing you to run scripts as a structural part of any deployment to any server. After this Webinar, you'll understand the issues involved with multi-platform deployment, and how to avoid potential pitfalls.

If you are in the process of converting your existing code to ILE, you will want to view this Webinar.
The session covers the following topics:

- how to optimize your existing objects for new releases of the OS/400 operating system and take advantage of recent ILE enhancements, 
- what we mean by "true” ILE development,
- how adopting ILE is a technical foundation for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), and
- the productivity benefits modular code brings to your team.

We will also show you how ARCAD Software handles the entire development process and makes ILE easy to manage. After this Webinar, you'll be ready to begin your own optimization and realize the full benefits of ILE.
