Today’s database technology landscape is more dynamic and varied than ever before. What’s driving all of this activity? In this article, Robert Schneider of WiseClouds LLC explains that enterprises are capturing, storing, and using immeasurably larger quantities of information, and they’re retaining it for much longer, too. Secondly, there are many more data categories - such as video, images, and machine-generated metrics - in play now. Finally, there are bountiful new opportunities to take advantage of all this information.
Robert explains some of the most interesting trends that are shaking up the information management industry, along with the noticeable effects that these developments are having on IT, including why a ‘one-size-fits-all’ database platform isn’t a good idea given today’s complexities.

Improve Java Software Quality
Most software projects have a wide variation of software risk, in terms of the complexity and the test coverage of their classes and methods. Additionally, the high risk areas may not be well known to management. Those classes that have been modified since the last release or test cycle may be particularly vulnerable, but especially so if they are of high risk relative to complexity and test coverage. Modifying existing code of moderate or high complexity without thorough testing runs a higher risk of introducing regressions.
As you’ll read in this short technical paper, a problem with many current development and maintenance efforts is that there is no easy way to identify the risk of each area of the code. This lack of transparency in turn makes it difficult to prioritize quality improvement efforts. Without a process to point out where risk is high, it’s hard to determine what code needs work. Chances are that a considerable portion of the resources that are expended on quality improvement are wasted on low-risk code while at the same time not nearly enough effort is expended on high-risk code.
