Check out the Requirements Composer 2.0 beta now to get a sneak peak . Announcing IBM Rational AppScan Source Edition
IBM Rational AppScan Source Edition identifies security vulnerabilities at the source, in the software code. It helps security professionals and development organizations reduce the risks and costs associated with security and compliance concerns. By combining AppScan Source Edition's source code analysis security testing with our existing Web application (dynamic analysis) security scanning IBM Rational is able to provide a comprehensive solution for correcting security vulnerabilities in applications before they go live.

Webcast: Modeling Embedded
Applications with Limited Resources Based on
UML
Webcast Date: Thursday, November 19, 2009 Webcast Time: 2pm CET (Central European Time) / 8am EST Description: This webinar will demonstrate the advantages of modeling in UML (Unified Modeling Language). Also how to use UML to model embedded systems with limited resources and real time aspects. ANSI-C is still the most popular notation to program embedded systems with limited resources. But even in those small embedded systems the complexity is growing permanently and programming in C is getting more and more inefficient. An upcoming alternative is the notation UML (Unified Modeling Language). Based on UML complex systems can be designed much more efficient and wit ha higher quality. But how is the performance of the source code that is generated out of a UML Model? Webcast presented by Walter van der Heiden, Associate Partner and CTO of Willert Software Tools Webcast: The Future of the Unified Process
A Virtual Panel Discussion with: Philippe Kruchten Scott Ambler Bruce MacIsaac December 1st, 2009 12pm - 1pm EST - Moderated by Julian Holmes Register here. 10pm - 11pm EST - Moderated by Carson Holmes Register here. Since the creation of the RUP in 1998, Unified Process has been evolving with the industry. In the last few years, the RUP has been refactored into "practices" that extend an agile core called OpenUP. Today with tension between new process brands and the various communities, it's natural to wonder where the Unified Process is headed. Please join us for a virtual panel discussion focused on the future of the Unified Process and hear from key thought leaders in the process industry. Please be prepared to ask questions you have related to the Unified Process and where the industry is headed. Hear from Greenridge Business Systems on

Learn how organizations are leveraging process and technology analysis and planning; and, are able to design, execute and govern more effectively and efficiently. Expert agenda explores enterprise architecture and business process management approaches. Replay. Smart techniques for
application security: whitebox + blackbox
security testing
Date/Time: OnDemand for a limited time only! Description: Two techniques - whitebox and blackbox security testing -- have emerged to detect vulnerabilities in software applications. They approach the problem in different ways. One analyzes software at the source while the other scans applications for vulnerabilities in the compiled program. While both have their strengths and weaknesses, a combination of the two approaches embedded across the software development life-cycle provides security professionals the most comprehensive application coverage. Join us for a one-hour Web seminar where members of our security research team will discuss these techniques, highlight how their approaches to vulnerability detection compliment one another and share best practices for embedding application security testing across the software development lifecycle. Virtual Seminar - Quality Driven Software
Delivery: Achieving Greater Value and
Performance from Software and Systems
Investments (Register Part 1 and Register
Part 2)
Seminar explores how modern software and product deliver teams enable quality management throughout the lifecycle, detecting bugs early and in the process, reduce cost and improve credibility. Shows how constant communication via a common and well-understood requirements-and quick responses to changes in those requirements-can infuse quality into software delivery from the start. Explores the role of right-size governance to help organizations become more flexible, address compliance, react faster to changing marketplace conditions and, ultimately, drive business growth. |
