    Eclipse Ganymede at a glance 10/13/09 9:39 AM Eclipse Ganymede at a glance Learn what is aboard the 24-project release train Chris Aniszczyk ([email protected]), Principal Consultant, Code 9 Summary: The Eclipse Ganymede release of 24 projects showcases the diversity and innovation going on inside the Eclipse ecosystem. Get an overview of several Ganymede projects, along with resources to find out more information. Date: 20 Jun 2008 Level: Intermediate Activity: 3827 views Comments: 0 (Add comments) Average rating Simply put, Ganymede is the simultaneous release of 24 major Eclipse projects. The important thing to remember about Ganymede and Eclipse release trains in general is that even though it's a simultaneous release, it doesn't mean these projects are unified. Each project remains a separate open source project, operating with its own project leadership, its own committers, and its own development plan. In the end, Ganymede is about improving the productivity of developers working on top of Eclipse projects by providing a more transparent and predictable development cycle. Getting Ganymede Before we get into the details about the various projects, let's complete a quick hands-on exercise to install Ganymede on your machine. There are two main ways to get Ganymede and that depends on your preference. The first — and recommended — way is to just grab a package relevant to you. The other way to get Ganymede is to use an update site. Ganymede packages The recommended way to get Ganymede is to head over to the Eclipse Ganymede Packages site. The packages site contains pre-bundled versions of Ganymede specific for your usage needs.

  • Accelerate Software Innovation Through Continuous Quality
    Accelerate Software Innovation Through Continuous Quality 1 Software quality is recognized as the #1 issue IT executives are trying to mitigate. Enterprise organizations strive to accelerate the delivery of a compelling user experience to their customers in order to drive revenue. Software quality is recognized as the #1 issue IT executives are trying to mitigate. QA teams know they have issues and are actively looking for solutions to save time, increase quality, improve security, and more. The most notable difficulties are in identifying the right areas to test, the availability of flexible and reliable test environments and test data, and the realization of benefits from automation. You may be facing many challenges with delivering software to meet the high expectations for quality, cost, and schedule driven by the business. An effective software testing strategy can address these issues. If you’re looking to improve your software quality while achieving your business goals, Parasoft can help. With over 30 years of making testing easier for our customers, we have the innovation you need and the experience you trust. Our extensive continuous quality suite spans every testing need and enables you to reach new heights. 3 QUALITY-FIRST APPROACH You can’t test quality into an application at the end of the software development life cycle (SDLC). You need to ensure that your software development process and practices put a priority on quality- driven development and integrate a comprehensive testing strategy to verify that the application’s functionality meets the requirements. Shift testing left to the start of your development process to bring quality to the forefront.
