Welcome

Welcome to the second edition of Perspective for 2009.

Continued margin pressure on businesses is driving them to re-look at their operating cost for each line item. We are seeing an interesting positive trend where organizations are looking at creating centralized software testing capability to drive consistent test measurement to improve overall quality and reduce cost of development and deployment.

This edition centres at a range of business and technical views. The Case Study focuses on the merit of Performance Testing for penetrating broadcast markets in a competitive environment. The Whitepaper explores the business aspect of cloud computing solutions and how these can be best mitigated by using appropriate testing techniques including both onsite and offshore solutions.

The testing services for business optimization hold immense importance. Based On the multiple assignments that we have completed, our Industry Comment addresses the process improvement of testing services for business optimization in the current economic climate.

I do hope you enjoy reading this edition of Perspective and I welcome your feedback at marketing@applabs.com.
