XBOSoft Delivers Presentation on Testing Web Applications at Applied Sciences College of Beijing Union UniversityBeijing, China - Phil Lew, CEO of XBOSoft, recently spoke at the Applied Sciences College of Beijing Union University in Beijing, China. Students at the university pursuing associate and bachelor degrees in computer science and software engineering were among the attendees. Lew's presentation addressed the topic of testing web applications and in particular, the special considerations required for performance testing web applications when there is increased user group variation. "Testing web based applications requires a different approach and mindset when compared to the conventional software applications of yesterday. User diversity, behavior and the platforms they use are all magnified" explained Lew. "Performance deserves special emphasis as even the most prolific feature set and functionality will be termed a failure if users walk away due to slow performance. And now with SaaS business models, they can leave and sign up with another software vendor in minutes" added Lew.
The presentation was part of a series arranged by the University to enhance the students' curriculum with guest lecturers bringing real world experience. It also introduces students to local companies in preparation for their entry into the job market. "This venue is an excellent way to for XBOSoft to fuel its growth with highly enthusiastic young students." Lew commented. "Surprisingly, technical challenges are not high on their list of hurdles. Rather, transitioning from exams and writing academic reports to a job and life outside of school is the biggest challenge."
"Feedback from students was positive," reported Professor Dai from the Beijing Union University. "The students really enjoyed Mr. Lew's talk, especially on the issues in adapting to work life and how to deliver value to the customer. Those are lessons that they can't get in a typical classroom setting."
XBOSoft Delivers Presentation on Assessing Software Quality at International College of Beihang UniversityBeijing, China - Phil Lew, CEO of XBOSoft, recently spoke at the International College of Beihang University in Beijing, China. The lecture attendees included international students at the university pursuing Master and Doctoral degrees in software development and engineering. Lew's presentation addressed the topic of defining software quality from an end user perspective and in particular, the implications of implementing web applications over the internet using a SaaS business model. "The new ISO 25010 standard on software quality, requires pragmatic implementation strategies, and a thorough understanding of it and how it applies to current software development and business environments is important" explained Lew. "This is especially true for web applications where shifts in user behavior and an increasing emphasis on satisfying the end user now pre-empts previous efforts focused on product quality. After all, a high quality product has little value if users find the user experience mediocre and go somewhere else (to another software vendor). "
The presentation was part of a series arranged by the International College that aims at highlighting current technical and business issues through first-hand experience of experts in their relative fields. The lecture series has included several professionals from industry and academia speaking on various development technologies, methodologies, tools, and techniques used throughout the software industry. "This venue is an excellent way to enable students to connect their studies to the real world and see how they can use what they learn." Lew commented. "It makes the students more enthusiastic when they can see why they are learning things and how they are applied."
"Feedback from students was positive," reported Associate Dean Weng from the Beihang University International College. "Software touches the lives of our students in every way. It's important that they get a flavor of what is going on in industry and to counterbalance their technical studies."
