Wireless technology offers immense potential for competitive advantage, starting right now -- but today's wireless landscape can be extraordinarily confusing. This book gives decision makers the clarity, insight, and practical methodology they need to identify the right wireless solutions -- and implement them. Ian S. Hayes offers a practical framework for understanding today's complex array of wireless devices, solution providers, technologies, standards, architectures, and acronyms. Through real-world case studies, practical examples, and illustrations, he helps you determine which wireless solutions offer the greatest business value in your environment -- and walks you through assembling and integrating those solutions. The book contains a detailed glossary of terminology, as well as a comprehensive list of software vendors and consultants, updated on an ongoing basis at the book's companion Web site.

Offers advice on designing and implementing a software test automation infrastructure, and identifies what current popular testing approaches can and cannot accomplish. Rejecting the automation life cycle model, the authors favor limited automation of unit, integration, and system testing. They also present a control synchronized data-driven framework to help jump-start an automation project. Examples are provided in the Rational suite test studio, and source code is available at a supporting web site. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
