Hi,
All in the JUG are invited to attend the WUG meeting on Tuesday
evening. Attendance and refreshments are free.
This talk should be useful in several ways. It will show the open-source
TPTP platform, for those interested in building tools. It will illustrate
what is important in Test and Performance Tooling. And it will be an
example of how IBM contributes to open source and works on its own products
using some of the same resources.
Hope to see you there.
Regards,
Don

The Eclipse Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) Project provides an
open platform supplying powerful frameworks and services that allow
software developers to build unique test and performance tool, both open
source and commercial, that can be easily integrated with the platform and
with other tools. One such product, built upon the base of the TPTP, is
the IBM Rational Performance Tester, which is a load and performance
testing solution for teams concerned about the scalability of their
Web-based applications.
Our speaker has a major role in developing both the open-source project,
and the IBM product built on it. He will show how such a product can be
built, starting from the open source base.

Directions to the Meeting
Distance from Raleigh (17 miles) / Durham (8 miles) / Chapel Hill (12 miles)
From I-40, take Exit 280 - Davis Drive. At the end of the exit ramp, take
a right (North) onto Davis Drive. Continue straight on Davis Drive for
about 0.5 miles. Take a right on Cornwallis road. Go about 1/2 mile, you
will cross over railroad tracks. At the IBM gate keep to the right.
If the rightmost gate is down, press on the intercom button and tell the
remote guard that you are attending the WebSphere User Group meeting, and
give him your name. He will open the gate for you. Go through gate, follow
the road around past the first Tivoli Building, looking for signs leading
to Building 500 or "Software Group." Our IBM host is Greg Ackerman - they
may ask for his name.
Go through gate, follow the road around past the first Tivoli Building,
looking for signs leading to Building 500 or "Software Group." It should be
the third road on the left. It can be a little tricky, so please allow some
extra time the first time.
It can be a little tricky, so please allow some extra time the first time.
You will see a visitors' parking lot. Turn in and park, and walk to the
Building 500 lobby.
Be careful not to go too far (the second Tivoli building is too far) or you
will find yourself on a one-way exit ramp and have to drive back around.
See http://www.rtpwug.org/sitemap.pdf for a map for this location.
***IBM Security now requires names and birth dates for non-US citizens.
Requests need to be made in advance to security for pre-printed temporary
badges, or non-US citizens will be required to come to a manned lobby (Bldg
002 on main site) to get a temporary badge before attending a meeting in
the 500 complex. If you are not a U.S. citizen, we would suggest that you
email your name and date of birth to Greg Ackerman [EMAIL PROTECTED] so
that IBM can have a badge made up for you ahead of time. We apologize for
this requirement.
