Most developers are maintaining applications that they did not originally develop. They need to understand old and complex code before making any changes. And when they make a change, they must ensure that they will not break the application because of unexpected side-effects.

This presentation will address these issues: we will use brand-new Visual Expert 2015 to explore PB and Oracle code, run impact analyses, and generate detailed source code documentation.

Business users are now asking for a quick and direct access to their information. They need to build reports on the fly, and visualize data in multiple, unpredictable ways. How do you answer their needs when reports are embedded in a PowerBuilder application? During this presentation, we’ll show how Business users can build new reports themselves (no technical or SQL Skills required).

Once reports are defined, they can: · Embed them automatically in the Application to make them visible to all users · Deploy them in a click to Web and Mobile users · Schedule them on a regular basis and send them automatically by email.

A design pattern is a reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem. It provides a description or template of a solution. There are many opportunities to apply design patterns to automated testing to make tests more reusable and easier to maintain. This presentation will explore use of design patterns to solve common problems encountered in automated testing along with code examples. A PowerBuilder application will be used as the target for all examples.
