Dr. Adam Kolawa
Adam Kolawa is the co-founder and CEO of Parasoft, leading provider of solutions and services that deliver quality as a continuous process throughout the SDLC. In 1983, he came to the United States from Poland to pursue his PhD. In 1987, he and a group of fellow graduate students founded Parasoft to create value-added products that could significantly improve the software development process. Adam's years of experience with various software development processes has resulted in his unique insight into the high-tech industry and the uncanny ability to successfully identify technology trends. As a result, he has orchestrated the development of numerous successful commercial software products to meet growing industry needs to improve software quality - often before the trends have been widely accepted. Adam has been granted 10 patents for the technologies behind these innovative products. Kolawa, co-author of Bulletproofing Web Applications (Hungry Minds 2001), has contributed to and written over 100 commentary pieces and technical articles for publications including The Wall Street Journal, Java Developer's Journal, SOA World Magazine, AJAXWorld Magazine; he has also authored numerous scientific papers on physics and parallel processing. His recent media engagements include CNN, CNBC, BBC, and NPR. Additionally he has presented on software quality, trends and development issues at various industry conferences. Kolawa holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the California Institute of Technology. In 2001, Kolawa was awarded the Los Angeles Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year Award in the software category.

The common approach to securing applications is to try to identify and remove all of the application's security vulnerabilities at the end of the development process. However, this bug-finding approach is not only resource-intensive, it's largely ineffective. To have any chance of expo...
Security has the inherent nature of spanning many different layers of a Web Services system. Web Services vulnerabilities can be present in the operating system, the network, the database, the Web server, the application server, the XML parser, the Web Services implementation stack, th...
It's difficult to determine how much time to spend reviewing and testing your code before checking it in to the team's shared code base. On the one hand, you want to complete and check in code as rapidly as possible so you can meet deadlines and move on to developing new code or gettin...
Open Source is the current rave of the software industry. It's making great progress because of Linux - an operating system that truly works. People are all a-bustle about Open Source and are beginning to look for an Open Source option appropriate to all their application needs. This r...
The creation and popularity of Web Services are growing rapidly in every industry. With this continued growth, more and more programmers find themselves writing code that, even if it's not currently packaged as a Web Service, will eventually be exposed as one.
The primary mission of information technology is to improve business processes and increase profits. Companies are constantly rethinking and struggling with how to use IT to a competitive advantage, reduce IT operating and maintenance costs, and reduce the total cost of ownership... al...
Since its inception XML has at times been seen as the cure-all for every problem related to Web applications and integration projects. However, poorly written XML can either slow down an integration project, or worse, cause the integration project to collapse.
The vast majority of corporate developers truly believe that application security is not their concern, assuming that network and engineering groups will build their environment in a secure way. But what about application security? Are you ready for the code audit?
I was introduced to Linux in 1992, when the first version was available. At the time I was visiting Poland and my company was building an inventory control system. One of our partners had decided to use Linux to run their inventory system. What led them to use this little-known operati...
'When we hear about short-term job losses that result from outsourcing to India and China, we also need to consider the long-term benefits of these nations developing into prime markets for U.S. exports,' says Dr. Adam Kolawa, the co-founder and CEO of Parasoft. Outsourcing actually of...
Web services are gaining industry-wide acceptance and usage. They are moving from proof-of-concept deployments to actual usage in mission-critical enterprise applications. While Web services allow businesses to connect to partners and customers, the same flexibility and connectivity pr...
Java security is an overwhelming issue. For a truly secure application, you need to prevent hackers from entering the system, and you need to ensure that code safeguards security if a hacker does break in. Moreover, there is no room for error. If you anticipate and prevent hundreds of...
Garbage in, garbage out - it's an axiom that applies to many aspects of enterprise development, but none more so than building reliable and robust Web applications and integration projects with XML. Since its inception, XML has been seen as the cure-all for every problem related to Web...
As more enterprises move toward an e-business strategy, the communication and integration of disparate, heterogeneous applications and systems is key. Businesses must be able to securely connect and communicate with customers and trading partners alike.
Most organizations that use Linux as a business operating system are developing their own applications for Linux - perhaps in response to the current scarcity of packaged applications available on Linux. With so much internal development for Linux, it is critical that the IT groups bui...
As a closing thought, let's consider our jobs and how to protect them. There is a lot of instability in today's software industry, and the American sector is losing its competitive edge.
Software errors cause not only system functionality problems, but also delayed releases, budget overruns, decreased development team productivity, and blemished corporate reputations. Errors are especially serious when they occur in code built upon WebSphere, which is typically at the ...
The 80/20 Rule is a well-known rule of thumb within the software development community that simply states that developers spend 80% of their time debugging applications and 20% writing new code. This ratio, which would seem to some outside the software industry the very embodiment of b...
