While at one point their may have been doubts regarding the continued success of PowerBuilder, the release of version 11 showed that PB is here to stay. PowerBuilder 12 was released a few days ago and it has a bright future ahead. Help us to keep monitoring the behaviour of PowerBuilder developers in the coming year.

Take the Novalys PowerBuilder survey 2010 and find out what are the most awaited developments of PB? What proportion of PB teams adopted .NET technology in 2009? Who's still using PB5? Who has moved to PB11? Where do you fit in?

The migration march to PB 12.NET will have many shops revisiting legacy applications. In this article I'll show you a technique to use for rolling multiple test cases into a single test suite and how to approach writing test cases that exercise database-centric code..

PowerBuilder 12 has been released. The new version represents a huge leap forward as far as support for .Net development, particularly reflected by the introduction of a new .Net IDE based on the Visual Studio Isolated Shell. That doesn't mean that people who aren't doing .Net development with PowerBuilder (the people doing "classic" development) have been left out. There are also a number of enhancements in the "Classic" 32 bit IDE as well.
