Letter from the editor

While it is obviously critical to the success of a software development team, the environment in which a project lifecycle takes its course has been traditionally overlooked as an architectural concern. Executive IT architect Peter Eeles remedies this neglect in our April cover story, in which he describes the role of the software development environment architect, its challenges, and its benefits to the organization. We also take a look at the role of the software tester in terms of Sun Tsu's classic study, The Art of War; we continue the series on application lifecycle management with IBM Rational ClearQuest, and there's much more.

Happy iterations,
Mike Perrow
Editor-in-Chief
