voke Research on Virtual and Cloud-based Labs Published!




In my last post I asked for your opinions on virtual and cloud-based labs.  Thank you so much for letting us know what you think of virtual and cloud-based labs!


On August 21, 2014 voke officially published its Market SnapshotTM Report: Virtual and Cloud-based Labs. The full report is available here  or at www.vokeinc.com to subscribers.


While virtual and cloud-based lab technology has been widely available since 2005, we still see development and test teams wait for protracted periods of time to gain access to the physical environments needed. From our research, we now know that on average, teams wait for 18 days to gain access to the required physical environments needed for development or testing. And, these teams that wait to access physical environments also have restrictions on environment access time. This type of lost productivity is easily remedied with virtual or cloud-based labs.
The full report contains an abundance of data to help make the case for virtual and cloud-based labs.


Thank you to all who shared their opinions. We are always curious about what you think of the application lifecycle as well as the technology and practices used by IT professionals.

API Testing – Stop Waiting and Start Testing ASAP!

We have all heard that testers must keep pace with developers to deliver software faster. However, most testers continue to test at the UI level – which is constantly changing, so testers have to wait, and that impacts the ability to meet business demands for faster software releases. It becomes a cycle that testers have a hard time escaping. Testers want to be able to test earlier, reduce risk, and identify defects sooner – all to satisfy the customer. API testing is the perfect way to supplement traditional UI testing, keep pace with development, and deliver better quality at scale!  API testing can help you test earlier, faster, and more efficiently! And now, we have the data to show you the benefits of API testing including how much time is spent on UI testing alone, how much (or should I say little) time is spend on unit and API testing, and how much coverage is achieved.  We will be premiering the results of our recent survey on API testing in a webinar with Paraso

Your Next PC? The Personal Cloud, of Course Since the introduction of the personal computer, we all like to longingly think about what our next PC will have. Will it be lighter? Will it have better graphics? Will it be faster? And the biggest question of all, do we really need all of the latest and greatest features. All of these are questions we ponder when a new operating system is released, or when our current PC just decides to quit functioning (usually at the most inopportune of times). Well, what will your next PC be? No, it is not your next Personal Computer, it is your Personal Cloud! That’s right, the next PC you invest in may well be a Personal Cloud. The Apple iPad is just the beginning of this move from the Personal Computer to the Personal Cloud. With the iPad, Apple has hit a grand slam, scored a hattrick, a touchdown, or any other superlative sports metaphor you can conjure up. The iPad is the next step in the computing revolution. If you think Steve Jobs, the Roark of t
