Managing Application Reliability With Veritas Application Saver

Overview Improving application quality is an important objective of the software industry. The complexity of the underlying software needed to support the computerized economy is increasing at a rapid rate. The size of software applications is no longer measured in terms of thousands of lines of code, but millions of lines of code. While traditional quality assurance methodologies, such as code review and unit testing, are an essential component of any reliability strategy, even the most exhaustive review and test can not ensure the detection of all critical bugs and will likely overlook many residual bugs. This paper presents, VERITAS Application Saver, a comprehensive solution for managing the health of enterprise application software.
