One statement that pretty much all software testers agree on is: you can’t test everything. While speaking with one of our customers, I learned that one project team used two pieces of testcase metadata for managing risk in light of this truth: an execution time estimate and some sort of prioritization and/or classification.
Zephyr, the leader in real-time test management, today named Steve Kehaya as Vice President of EMEA for Zephyr. In this role, Kehaya is charged with overseeing Zephyr’s sales initiatives in Europe; including direct and channel sales.
A Technological Breakthrough
The growth of consumer technologies such as tablets, smartphones, iPads and iPhones and its unending journey into the IT sector have led to the consumerization of IT. Nevertheless, the global enterprises with distantly located development teams and offices and mobile workforce find it challenging to meet the ever-changing demands from the customers, and providing instant information. However, technological innovations have provided ways and means to access the corporate network from remote locations.
The influx of creative ideas and innovative products and applications has made users closer to the gadgets. The concept of Bring Your Own device or BYOD has not only eased the way people work but has also increased the productivity level in the organizations. The innovative software applications, facilitates employees to access the corporate network either from their workstation or from their new age hand held devices irrespective of the location.
Wikipedia describes BYOD as “the policy of permitting employees to bring personally owned mobile devices to the place of work and using those devices to access privileged company resources such as email, file servers, and databases.” A result of IT consumerization, BYOD is concept that has gained momentum because of the technological breakthrough such as cloud computing services and the prevalence of SSL VPN services that has enabled connectivity and integration of the new age devices with in-house IT infrastructure.
Today with remote working on the rise, leading service providers have worked out “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) solutions for mobile and remote access. The innovative appliance based remote desktop solutions designed for BYOD will enable the workforce to access both physical and virtual desktop and the applications irrespective of the location or device.
Implementing BYOD solutions at workplace benefits both the organization as well as its employees. For organizations, this solution brings in increased employee productivity and efficiency along with reduction in expense for upgrading and maintenance of IT infrastructure. For the employees this helps save time and effort along with providing flexibility of work time. With reports of nearly 90% of the corporate mobile workforce using their own devices for business data access, BYOD has definitely made significant presence in the business world.
Though the BYOD solutions ensures enterprises with business continuity and planning in case of any disasters, the enterprises need to have a secured wireless protocol for protecting the data in motion and for authenticating the user and network. Further the overloading of the network caused by the BYOD access can be reduced with the help of load balancers.

Increasingly, the high executives and the mobile workers too are giving up the laptop for a tablet access, Bluetooth keyboard and a suite of applications to get on with the day’s work while being a part of a conference or any other event. The consumer and end user expectations are very high in terms of browsing a website for data purposes, to finish a task and make a donation or purchase.
They expect a browsing experience similar to the simple and perceptive navigation that is prevalent in purchasing a book on Amazon or experience the compact visual experience in a social networking site like Twitter or Facebook. On the other hand 16 percent of enterprises had a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy in 2011 as compared to 8 percent in 2010. The modern day employees want tablet access and most forward thinking enterprises are resorting to tablets for the workforce quickly.
Secure Tablet Access for Enterprise Desktop Applications The security and the absence of native mobile applications for business are two critical hassles in the way of enterprise mobility. Though the native applications for businesses are rising in quantity, the majority of applications still operate in a conventional environment for instance laptops, desktops, terminal servers and virtual architecture. Today service providers of application delivery controllers have come up with tablet access solutions that help to mobilize the desktop applications with a remote RDP access (remote desktop) allowing companies and individuals to implement the solutions and leverage from the present infrastructure.
Advanced tablet access solutions publish the enterprise applications in a secure manner for it to be used on mobile devices. Regardless of whether your applications are functioning on desktop PC’s, virtual architectures, laptops or terminal servers these solutions offer identity-based access from any mobile device to certain enterprise application in a way that simplifies the user experience, enhances the security and functional efficiency.

Features & Benefits of Load Balancers
Load balancing offers high accessibility and scalability to enterprise-wide TCP/IP services, for instance terminal services, web, proxy, virtual private networking and streaming media services. Load balancing servers also known as hosts in a cluster communicate within themselves to offer a set of benefits such as:
Scalability – Server load balancing scales the performance of a server based program, for instance a web server, by disseminating its client requests all through various servers within the cluster.
High availability – Server load balancing offers high availability by detecting server failure automatically and repartitioning client traffic all through the remaining servers within as less as ten seconds, while offering users within ongoing service.
The way load balancers work
Load balancers scales the performance of a server based program, for instance a web server. With load balancing every incoming IP packet is received by every host, but accepted by the intended recipient. The cluster hosts simultaneously respond to multiple client request and even various requests from one client. For instance, a web browser may attain multiple images within a web page from various hosts in a load balancer cluster. This speeds up the processing and lessens the response time to clients.
Today service providers specializing in application delivery controllers have come up with advanced load balancers that efficiently leverage the multi-core processing to cost-efficiently drive excellent performance all through a rich server load balancing and application feature that offers unparalleled value of ownership. Load balancers boost application performance and accelerate the ROI. Other services and benefits include the following:
Offers local and global server load balancing with multi-unit clustering for 99.999% application uptime and data center scalability
Innovative application-fluent traffic management for optimized delivery of business critical applications and IP services
Provides offloading of Web and application servers for maximized efficiency, capacity and return on investment
Offers SSL acceleration for safeguarding data in transit, offloading compute-intensive processes from servers and improving application performance
Provides a reverse-proxy architecture with a packet-inspection firewall for guarding applications without impacting performance
There is application-specific certifications and configuration guides for rapid deployment of optimized configurations
Server load balancing can be installed automatically and enabled optionally on a server and datacenter server versions of the Windows 2000 operating system. It functions as a functional service for local area network connections and is enabled for a LAN connection in the system. There are no hardware charges to implement and operate server load balancing. It is also compatible with all Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) and Ethernet network adapters and hence no certain hardware compatibility criteria.
