Quality Compliance
August 9, 2007
7:30 am - 9:00 am
Determining whether legal and contractual issues apply to your development
efforts isn't always simple. There may be some obvious factors: a
well-regulated industry, service level agreements, and state or federal
agency oversight. However, other factors may not be so obvious. The new
Sarbanes-Oxley ACT is largely legally untested, subjecting your company to
unknown legal issues. Covering legal, compliance, and audit throughout
the QA process lifecycle, the discussion will focus on real-life
situations and provide guidelines for working with stakeholders,
attorneys, and auditors and how a process can mitigate your risk.
Discussion
Points to include:
-
Legal and compliance
issues within QA scope.
-
Legal requirements
as part of the architecture and development process.
-
Questions to ask and
what to do with the answers you get.
-
Legal counsel,
finance, and external resources for compliance research.
-
Metrics and
reporting.
Quality Oriented
Architecture (QOA)
August 9, 2007
9:30 - 11:00 am
Enterprises today are using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to integrate
disparate systems into cohesive business processes by reusing existing
systems and leveraging messaging and integration. The challenge of SOA is
that the processes flow across application stacks and technologies. This
poses a unique challenge for quality assurance. Quality Oriented
Architecture (QOA) is the method by which quality assurance best practices
and testing standards are adopted within the SOA environment.
Global Quality
Management
September 25, 2007
7:30 - 9:00 am
Organizations today are leveraging global technology and resources in
ensuring the quality of their business applications. Applications built in
India are being tested in China and rolled out in Nebraska. The ability for
an IT organization to manage their quality assurance programs, processes,
resources on the global stage will have a direct and significant impact on
what they deliver to business.
Quality on Demand
October 11, 2007
7:30 - 9:00 am
Most
IT organizations are finding it very difficult and costly to manage quality
assurance when faced with variable demand from the businesses they support.
Quality assurance organizations are not staffed to handle peak demand.
Supplementing with contract services normally does not meet the threshold of
break even when tied to specific projects. The return-on-investment on a
traditional hire-train-fire lifecycle for contractor resources is normally
not realized. By using Quality on Demand (QOD), companies will be able to
retain knowledge, leverage assets, deliver work product by matching the
right resources at the right time.
