Debugging Software

We do webinars about once a month on various topics across the software development lifecycle. The common theme of course is how application record and replay can dramatically and demonstrably improve defect resolution.

Usually we average between 150 and 200 registrants. However, this month’s topic has driven sign-ups absolutely off the charts. Seems like test automation is a hot button topic right now and our webinar on Wednesday, Nov 2 (Automate testing for Java EE apps – Selenium, HP ALM, LoadRunner) already has 400+ registrants with more pouring in.

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised because as organizations push more agile (and shorter) schedules, automation is crucial. For us, this trend is definitely our friend.

It starts with continuous integration and our ability to identify and explain even minor differences in test execution between code versions. After that, our ability to precisely locate regression test failures extends the ROI of that process from bug finding to bug communication, replication and resolution. We’re now even getting traction with the security folks who in addition to finding security and compliance issues via vulnerability scanners,  now want to bring the issue to development in the form of our recording to accelerate remediation (after all, a vulnerability is simply just another kind of bug).

We’re excited that our automated test solutions are resonating so strongly. If you happen to miss the live webinar, check out our website where we archive all of our “greatest hits”.
