		<description><![CDATA[Dear Technology Colleagues at Derivatives Exchanges, I’m sure you do not need me to inform you that the investment community is becoming more aware of the importance of dependable software operating our exchanges. Yet many of your competitors have fallen victim to the reputational damage caused by software glitches. Many of us, as technology professionals and as individual investors, are shocked to see the escalating pace of major software outages reported by the exchanges and major market makers. Perhaps this is because most enterprises fail to wake up to their software risk until shamed into it by a major public outage. By this point, whilst it may be possible to &#8230; <a href="http://blog.castsoftware.com/an-open-letter-to-derivatives-exchange-operators/">Read More <i class="icon-chevron-right"></i></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you load testing? Great. Are you counting on load testing to protect your organization from a catastrophic system failure? Well, that’s not so great. I bet if you surveyed enterprise application development teams around the world and asked them how they would ensure the elasticity and scalability of an enterprise application, they’d answer (in unison, I’d imagine): load testing. Do it early and often. Well, that was the world view at NASDAQ before the Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) IPO &#8212; perhaps the highest profile IPO of the past five years. And we saw how well that worked out for them. NASDAQ has reserved some $40 million to repay its clients &#8230; <a href="http://blog.castsoftware.com/load-testing-fails-facebook-ipo-for-nasdaq/">Read More <i class="icon-chevron-right"></i></a>]]></description>

We tune in to find out who will be the “Next Top Model,” “Next Food Network Star,” “Next Design Star” and “Next Iron Chef.” Technology is also quite interested in “The Next Big Thing” as witnessed by the 19.9 million results you get when you Google “Next Big Thing in Technology.” But while most of the TV “Next” searches focus on the individual, most of the “next big things” discussed in Tech have been on a trend level.

So when it came to career choices my decision to enter a profession that demanded writing skills seemed like a natural fit. I started out as a newspaper reporter, following in my father’s footsteps, but as the jobs and money there began drying up in the mid-1990’s I took my interest in Technology and made the jump to writing for high tech companies and have been happy doing this job ever since. For many years, I served as something of a “ghost writer,” writing press releases on behalf of my employers or articles for magazines, journals, &#8230; <a href="http://blog.castsoftware.com/quality-is-a-happy-place/">Read More <i class="icon-chevron-right"></i></a>]]></description>

I snicker at the widespread beliefs and openly wonder how someone could believe that Bill Gates would send them a check for forwarding an email or that Mr. Rogers was a Marine sniper or that some currently popular entertainer was born a different gender. This is why I have Snopes.com on Internet speed dial and I DVR the television show “Mythbusters”.

According to Senator Coburn in the report: “This report details 100 of the countless unnecessary, duplicative  or just plain stupid projects spread throughout the federal government  and paid for with your tax dollars this year that highlight the out-of-control and shortsighted spending excesses in Washington.” The list of $7B in wasteful projects is as amusing as it is disturbing. As a taxpayer, reading a list of this ilk makes our leaders and decision-makers seem detached, self-serving and simply incompetent.

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, CAST issued a report on the summary findings of its second annual CAST Report on Application Software Health (aka CRASH), which delves into the structural quality of business application software. The report has earned significant coverage throughout the technology media, including InformationWeek, InfoWorld and Computerworld, as well as the Wall Street Journal. What resonates with the press seems to be two issues. First is the issue of technical debt. With financial debt being such a hot-button issue around the globe, the idea that companies are spending millions to fix errors in application software that should have been fixed during pre-deployment phases of production highlights that business must fundamentally &#8230; <a href="http://blog.castsoftware.com/a-crash-course-on-cast%e2%80%99s-new-crash-report/">Read More <i class="icon-chevron-right"></i></a>]]></description>
