Transforming Legacy Applications - Is the Government Really Ready?

With the release of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, government agencies and departments are tasked with the mission of identifying and updating expensive legacy applications into more efficient and usable technologies. Such transformation may involve transitioning to composite applications, introducing thin clients, VDI and migrating to the cloud or even developing mobile applications. While these upgrades are necessary to keep pace with a technologically advanced world, there is also significant budgetary pressure to do more with less, leaving less room for error.

Updating legacy applications is not simply a matter of polishing code and developing new, more user-friendly GUIs. Application architecture has evolved into 3-tier, composite builds across multiple networks, services, and geographies for a variety of operating systems and devices. This complexity -- and the required integration of dependencies and application resources — is burdening development and QA teams responsible for testing and validating application performance. Traditional testing methods are not effective in attaining high quality application performance in rapid time frames.

Network virtualization for software testing solutions incorporate production network behavior into the test process, facilitating precise testing and analysis. This allows organizations to pinpoint performance issues prior to deployment, validate performance levels and SLO/SLA compliance, and quickly tune applications for optimal performance.

Attend this 45 minute webinar as we answer the following questions:

• How can we best face this kind of complexity?
• How can network and service virtualization lower testing and infrastructure costs?
• How does network virtualization speed up release cycles?

Following the webcast, you will walk away with an understanding of the essential capabilities for virtualizing conditions in your test lab, as well as a methodology to improve testing accuracy and reliability.
