Organizations building RCP applications struggle to maintain quality at reasonable cost in the face of shrinking budgets and larger, more complex applications. While, conceptually software professionals understand the value of utilizing technology and automation to achieve higher quality, they often lack time, knowledge and resources to make quality a deliverable, enforcing these practices.

This webcast provides concrete steps that can be taken to incrementally improve quality through continuous integration, static analysis, metrics, test automation and code coverage.

Agenda/Key Takeaways:
      Key technology components in a good
        quality program
      Putting recommended tools into practice
      Exploring the service element
      Importance and key attributes of an
        automation framework
