OK, so you're planning your migration to Windows 7 now. You're aware of the application compatibility testing requirement for the applications you deploy to desktops and servers. But what about web apps? What's the implication for IE8, which is coupled with Windows 7? Plan now to understand the impact migrating these applications will have on the enterprise deployment plan.
With the introduction of IE8 Microsoft has tightened up on the implementation and enforcement of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other web standards. It's no longer possible to trick the browser into rendering the code and interface in a non-standard way. And with stricter security, a web application environment in IE6 may not migrate effortlessly to Windows 7.
But don't despair—App-DNA has extended the AppTitude application compatibility software platform to capture and assess web applications. This addition to AppTitude provides:
- Web application capture; Static and Runtime-compiled (HTML) content
- Analysis—analyzing the DNA from the web app data capture to deliver a Red, Amber, Green (RAG) report
- Reporting—comprehensive remediation reports comparable to the AppTitude standard product reporting including recommendations for actions to fix any issues
Sound good? If you think this can help solve the mystery of your web app compatibility for IE8 (or IE9, coming soon) then be a part of the AppTitude IE8 Beta program (Phase 2) in September. All you need to do is and complete the AppTitude IE8 beta program survey.
Then tick web application analysis off your 'to do' list with confidence!
