Event Review: Best Practices for Developing, Deploying, and Maintaining Forms Solutions (Session ITPRODSK-112)

Welcome to the material supporting page for this session. The materials on this page have been selected as the best matches to the content covered in the live event session.

Session Outline

This session will cover a number of best practices to effectively develop a forms solution within your organization. We will also look at different strategies for deploying forms solutions. This is an area that companies ignore, which can be vital to the success or failure of the application. Deploying a product requires a plan similar to developing the product, which must be thoroughly tested and refined. Finally, we will review the maintenance of an application which has been deployed into a production environment. We will cover updating an application based on change management requests and how to ensure continual stability within an application through regression testing.
