Webinar: Make Testing Simple: accelerate audit complianceSpeaker: Ray Bernardi, Solutions Architect, ARCAD Software
 View Recording
Are you having trouble passing audits because of the way you test your software? Have you experienced downtime due to errors that have made their way into your production environment? Maintaining application reliability is always a priority, and to achieve that goal effectively, you need to make testing a structural part of change at your organization. The session explains how you can easily implement a strategy to: - extract and maintain reliable test data,
- capture and automate program tests, and
- capture, present, and compare your test results – all with a reasonable investment in time, resources, and cost.

Given the critical nature of applications and the impact of a software malfunction on your organization, improving and maintaining application reliability is always a priority. To reach that goal effectively, you need a testing program. The session explains how you can put a program in place to: - extract your test case data,
- define your test sequences, and
- capture, present, and compare your test results – all with a reasonable investment in time, resources, and cost.
For organizations with multiple projects and/or developers, setting up and conducting tests and keeping track of the results is a complex task. Testing is so demanding that you really need automated tools to accomplish it effectively. Fortunately, you can introduce and improve testing processes incrementally.
SOX compliance and Basel II auditors are focusing more and more on the COBIT objectives related to testing. The more routine it is, the more an auditor may rely on the results of your internal test process. Automated tools that help you create test data, develop and automatically run test plans, and analyze results are critical to reducing testing costs related to compliance. | | | Webinar: Managing ILE DevelopmentSpeaker: Ray Bernardi, Solutions Architect, ARCAD Software

Speaker: Jeff Tickner, ARCAD Software
View Recording
As IBM i applications spread out and move onto other platforms, it just makes sense to implement ILE and SQL to increase their portability, simplify maintenance, and make development easier.
If you are using, or planning to use, ILE and SQL to create your applications, you will want to attend this Webinar. Our session will cover the following essentials: - the benefits of using SQL, with basic programming examples,
- how adopting ILE is a technical foundation for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA),
- the productivity improvements that modular code brings to your team,
- the benefits of using SQL, with basic programming examples,
- how a modern change management tool assists you when working with ILE and embedded SQL,
- how to transfer ILE and SQL to production along with native PF, LF, and RPG, and
- how you can use complete ILE and SQL cross-reference to maintain your system's integrity.
After this Webinar, you will be confident that you can forge ahead with techniques such as ILE and SQL especially when you have the right tools in place.
| Webinar: HOW ALM CAN SAVE YOU MONEY IN A TIGHT ECONOMY
Speaker: Ray Bernardi, Solutions Architect, ARCAD Software
View Recording
Times are tough and budgets are limited. In today’s tight economy, is it possible for an IT organization to maintain its current level of productivity or even increase it without adding overhead? This Webinar examines the benefits of “cost-saving” change management, analysis, and testing tools and quantifies the return on investment you should expect over time.
Companies that need to replace their existing change management systems due to rising maintenance costs or technology issues, as well as those who have yet to implement Application Lifecycle Management, can benefit from this session.
After the Webinar, you’ll understand how implementing ARCAD’s products can help you avoid issues and become more productive with existing staff while expanding your technical capabilities, and how the software can actually pay for itself in a short amount of time. | | | Webinar: ITIL BEST PRACTICESSpeaker: Philippe Magne, CEO, ARCAD Software

Companies that are concerned about improving the effectiveness of their IT organizations recognize the positive contribution that ITIL (IT Infrastructure Library) makes in optimizing IT processes and thereby providing better service for their users. In our one-hour Webinar, ARCAD CEO Philippe Magne presents an overview of ITIL and reviews the benefits of implementing ITIL best practices. He then focuses on the six ITIL key processes that ARCAD Software supports and the contribution software tools make in each area: service desk, incident management, problem management, change management, release management, and service level management. |
| Webinar: MANAGING IBM i AND .NET DEVELOPMENTSpeakers: Ray Bernardi and Jeff Tickner, ARCAD Software
View Recording
Can native IBM i and Visual Studio developers work comfortably in a single change management system? View this Webinar to find out. The fun begins when two opinionated developers go head-to-head to put change management through its paces.
Our highly interactive Webinar explores how a single CM process can keep IBM i and .net development teams in sync and ensure that all components are installed successfully. We show you ARCAD’s unique native and .net cross-reference features, including impact analysis for changes to SQL-derived databases – whether they are on the IBM i or external servers. You’ll also see how we handle 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, and you’ll understand how ARCAD supports a Visual Studio developer. | | | Webcast: WDSC & RDi: DEBUGGING RPG, COBOL & CL PROGRAMS MADE EASY Speaker: Don Yantzi, Technical Lead, IBM i Rational Developer and WDSc View Recording Debugging your RPG, COBOL, and CL programs has never been easier.
