The definitive guide to application compatibility testing for platform migration

London, UK  - 06th May, 2010–App-DNA today announced the free availability of a new eBook, designed to provide a detailed insight into the challenges and steps enterprises need to undertake when embarking on a platform migration - whether it be a move to Microsoft Windows 7, 64-bit computing, server-based computing, or any variety of virtualization. Furthermore, it provides practical expert advice on Application Compatibility, which remains the single biggest hurdle for any enterprise-sized platform migration.

The areas covered in The App Migration Workbook include:

- The four big issues in app migration  – and how to tackle them
- The need to rationalize your application estate – to develop an action plan, not just a snapshot
- Why manual testing won’t work this time – and why automation is essential
- How app-compat testing works – and why you should care
- What intelligent remediation looks like – and why it beats ‘auto-fixing’
- Best practice business-as-usual processes – and how to leverage your migration assets to improve them

The eBook includes worksheets to help IT teams work out their own application migration metrics, including practical tips/ considerations and next steps. The material and metrics have been drawn from App-DNA’s experience of large scale platform migrations and the use of automated application compatibility testing, which can cut the migration timeline from months, if not years, to a matter of weeks.
