For Immediate Release
Realtime Publishers and Compuware Release
The Definitive Guide to Quality Application Delivery
With this new Definitive Guide, author Don Jones puts business in the “driver’s seat,” ending the vicious cycle of software disappointment, and sticking to a truly business-focused approach to design, development, and testing.
San Francisco, CA—Monday, October 6th, 2008—Realtime Publishers, the leader in expert-driven online media for IT professionals, and Compuware announced the immediate release of The Definitive Guide to Quality Application Delivery. This new eBook focuses on the whole picture of improving quality in applications, starting from the requirements and design phase and continuing through development and testing. Common myths are examined and dispelled, including the myth that simply purchasing software testing tools will instantly make quality better for everyone. The Definitive Guide to Quality Application Delivery goes on to construct a whole new approach to quality that focuses on the alignment of software with the business as a primary quality indicator.
“One of the reasons I've been successful as an IT consultant is my ability to really bring IT and the business to the same table, get them speaking the same language, and get them pointed in the same direction,” explains author Don Jones. “In many ways, The Definitive Guide to Quality Application Delivery is a formalization of that approach, with a focus on one of the things that businesses spend a lot of money being disappointed in: software quality. Instead of just trying to preach development best practices and harp on the need for more testing, I think a top-down approach to quality -- one that starts when the application is first being conceived -- is the best way to create software applications that are both more bug-free and more satisfying to the business that paid for them.”
The Definitive Guide to Quality Application Delivery offers the following chapters:
Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 2: What is Quality, and Who Cares?
Chapter 3: The Costs of Quality (and the Costs of None)
Chapter 4: What’s Your Quality Level?

Chapter 7: Development: Quality Practices
