Forrester and Coverity Explain How to Ensure the Integrity of Application Architecture in Agile and Waterfall Environments.
The consistent use of sound application architecture is key to the success of software development. In modern design environments, whether agile or waterfall, the pressures of delivering high integrity code on time and on budget conspire to compromise application architecture, and ultimately the quality and security of your code. Application architecture is not simply something that occurs at the beginning of development. Rather, it is a critical, ongoing concern that extends across the application lifecycle - particularly with larger code bases. When enforced, application architecture eliminates dangerous upward or circular dependencies that cause security vulnerabilities and quality defects. It also helps developers use a consistent structure that facilitates the reuse of code, and ultimately lowers the cost of maintaining your software. When ignored, the slow decay of an application's architecture leads to the early obsolescence of code, slashing the long term ROI of development efforts.

Join Coverity CTO Ben Chelf and Forrester senior analyst Mike Gualtieri December 4th at 10:00 am PDT/1:00 pm EST for a technical webinar that explains the growing role and value of application architecture in software development today. Attendees will learn how application architecture impacts all developers, and how effectively setting and enforcing architectural rules in your code can reduce security and quality issues to lower the overall development costs.

Register today and find out how your organization can begin to control and derive value from a more consistent application architecture.
