Build quality assurance and enterprise integration into every development project

"Feature complete" is not the same as "production ready." Whether it's in Java, .NET, or Ruby on Rails, getting your application ready to ship or your Web site ready to launch is only half the battle. Did you design your system to survive a sudden rush of visitors from Digg or Slashdot or an influx of real world customers from 100 different countries? Are you ready for a world filled with flakey networks, tangled databases, and impatient users? In this sample chapter from Release It! Design and Deploy Production-Ready Software, closely examine a Web development case study from a quality assurance perspective, and discover why every Web site project is really an enterprise integration project.
