Live Webinar – November 14th, 2012 1:00 – 2:00 PM EST
Duration: 1 Hours + QA – 1 Category C Self Directed Learning PDUs
Presented by: SD Times (Software Development Times)

Smart organizations are always on the hunt for software development methods that bridge the gap between business objectives and development activity.

Despite hiring highly intelligent people on both sides of the divide, achieving business objectives based on predictable project outcomes remains a challenge. Unless there’s a concerted effort to recognize and bridge this divide the “geek gap” will always exist.

Software is now the primary interface to most businesses, which means that developers’ daily coding decisions are ultimately business decisions.

Today, businesses are effectively allowing developers to make critical decisions that impact the security, performance, functionality, and reliability of the application.

In this webinar, SD Times will explore why and how to close this geek gap by leveraging a centralized development testing platform.

They Will Cover:

  • Reasons for the geek gap and the business risks associated with it
  • How to assess the severity of your organization’s geek gap
  • How a centralized development testing platform can bridge this gap in a way that not only delivers more predictable project outcomes, but also provides the opportunity for continuous process improvement.
