| Testing boosts Friends Provident's ecommerce apps
Financial service company Friends Provident is using software testing tools to improve the quality of its ecommerce applications. The company's tech team designs, implements and manages ecommerce applications that deliver insurance information to banks and independent financial advisors, and needed a testing tool that could be used by distributed teams. Craig Gibbons, senior IT consultant at Friends Provident told silicon.com: "If you go back about three years, IT at Friends Provident was working in smaller teams with business people to do projects. We started to move away from that as Friends Provident got bigger. "We are working more in global teams and we needed a test management product that worked that way. We were looking for a test management product that we could roll out easily and quickly and would support people working geographically apart," he added.

SFWMD approves Miami-Dade's 20-year water permit
With Miami-Dade County's promise to build about $1.9 billion in water projects, the governing board of the South Florida Water Management District approved a permit on Thursday for the next 20 years of the county's water use. The consumptive use permit allows Miami-Dade to use about 76 million more gallons of water a day by the time everything is built. That would support the county of 2.4 million people to grow to 2.7 million residents by 2027. However, the permit is contingent on the county building those water projects along a strict timeline. The district could revoke the permit and limit water allocations if the county doesn't perform. "Not only does it impose deadlines for the project to be in service, it also requires interim milestones to ensure the financial service plans are met," said Santiago Echemendia, a Tew Cardenas attorney in Miami who represents the district's governing board.
