CONFERENCE SPEAKER: Dave Barstow — Borland

1124  Handling SarbOx: What's in it for the Developer?

Type: Regular Session. Level: All.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was passed by the US Congress to prevent corporate misconduct, such as that involved in the Enron collapse. The act imposes tight controls on corporate financial reporting, with stiff personal penalties for executives. As corporations have worked to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, there have been many implications for software developers, including stricter enforcement of development and testing processes and tighter change control. At the same time, there have been increased opportunities for software process improvement, because the need for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance is a strong corporate motivator.
Prerequisites: None.
