whitepaper Improve Availability and Resiliency with Software Infrastructure Testing by IT Operations2008-08-30 StackSafe
  Does your company know how the next software patch or configuration change will impact uptime? An alarming number of companies cannot be completely sure what any change will do to their critical business applications. Their IT operations teams lack the testing resources and processes to understand the impact of changes and be sure that they won't cause service degradation, or, worse yet, take an application offline completely. And yet today's business environment requires that systems be available 24/7 for people both inside and outside the company. So how can you better understand the impacts of changes to the software infrastructure? And what are the costs associated with testing?

In this webcast, trusted advisors from Gartner and StackSafe discuss the importance of software infrastructure testing to improve uptime. You'll also find out why new technologies like virtualization can make testing easier and more effective.

whitepaper Software Development's Cone of Uncertainty2008-08-25 Construx Software Builders
  Software's Cone of Uncertainty is a model for understanding estimation uncertainty in software projects. Early in a project, specific details of the nature of the software to be built, details of specific requirements, details of the solution, project plan, staffing, and other project variables are unclear. Estimates inherently contain high uncertainty early in projects but this can be reduced once the project is underway. This whitepaper from Steve McConnell, Chief Software Engineer/CEO at Construx Software, introduces the concept of the Cone of Uncertainty and how reducing variability along the way can improve estimates and "narrow the Cone."
