While the cloud offers many benefits, it’s more like a black box when it comes to deploying software. If you are running your application in the cloud, there is less visibility than you might have in your own data center. That puts software quality at risk.
How do you manage a black box? You manage the inputs and outputs. To do this you need an end-to-end testing and monitoring framework for your cloud-dependent application. This framework needs to measure functional accuracy, as well as application response time, both in the lab during development and test, and at the end user after deployment. A complete software quality management approach must include activities both before and after deployment.

Big Data Isn’t About the Database, It’s About the Application
“Big Data analytics will shape the form of nearly every process going forward in time, from the color of the latest fashions, what the candidates say in one town versus another to the chemical composition of the latest super drug,” noted Steve Knodl, Director of Product Management at NextIO, in this exclusive Q&A with Cloud Expo Conference Chair Jeremy Geelan. “Whether these are considered “new” products,” Knodl continued, “or continuous improvement on previous processes is largely in the eyes of the beholder.”
Agree or disagree? – “While the IT savings aspect is compelling, the strongest benefit of cloud computing is how it enhances business agility.”

EMC Buys Syncplicity
EMC has bought cloud storage start-up Syncplicity, which, as one might suspect from its name, does one-click file syncing and sharing as well as real-time backup.
Users are supposed to be able to access, manage and share files across PCs, Macs, mobile platforms and file servers like SharePoint, corporate networks and cloud applications like Google Docs and SalesForce without moving a file.
The enterprise can delete files from user accounts or revoke access, offering a way for companies to deal with the BYOD wave.
EMC means to develop an enterprise version of the stuff tied to Documentum and other repositories like SharePoint spiffed up with corporate governance. It also means to retain Syncplicity’s free and Dropbox-like consumer model and aim it at units inside the enterprise and SMBs.
