BPM and Java: Do you get the feeling the pot isn’t boiling yet?
April 15th, 2008 by Alex Neihaus
I was reading Frank Cohen’s blog today (he was nice enough to help get the word out about our webinar on Java and BPEL this coming Thursday) and I ran across this very interesting comment Frank made after having attended a Java conference recently:
Java architects and developers are frustrated looking for Business Process Management (BPM) standards and tools. Brian Sletten’s talk…was titled “Avoiding ESBs” but could have been better described as “I’m sick and tired of waiting for vendors to give me a decent Business Process Management (BPM) platform!”
Here in VOSville, we think one of the mega VOSibilities (that’s posibilities for those of you who are already tired of my lame puns) that exists in the marketplace is at the junction of visual orchestration systems and BPM. I know, I know, this ain’t very specific. But, I can’t say anything more at the moment.
Let me just say that we are cooking up sumthin’ very special that will answer this precise criticism. And, I promise, you won’t have to wait long to see the water (and our competitors’ blood) boil.
But, you do have to wait. While you do, Frank was kind enough to send over information on a bootcamp his company is holding. Here’re the details. You should check it out.
Frank Cohen and Robert Schneider are putting on their Open-Source Test Automation Bootcamp, a 3-Day Hands-On Course, in Philadelphia on May 14-16, 2008. Companies such as AMD, Amazon, TV Guide, Ford, and The Jackson Labs sent their testers, architects, and managers to learn Frank and Rob’s test methodology, test patterns, and best practices. Plus they received hands-on training with free open-source test tools, including soapUI, Selenium, and PushToTest.
The Bootcamp delivers hands-on training to test Web applications, Web services, Ajax, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and REST applications to optimize these for performance, reliability, and proper function. The Seminar teaches practical methodology and techniques to surface performance bottlenecks and optimizations to improve scalability and throughput.
Bootcamp instructors Frank Cohen and Robert Schneider are the leading authorities and teachers for testing and optimizing software developed with Web, SOA, AJAX, and REST designs and implementations.
