QA (application environment series part 6)
Do you ever wonder if there is a process that is used to ensure quality on Four51? Have you ever experienced any issues on a web site you frequent? Do you ever wonder how a web site performs at such a high level of quality? If you answered “Yes” to any of those questions, the term Quality Assurance should come to mind. Each company assures the quality of their product at some level whether that is just a developer who tests his code, or a person or a team of people who are responsible.

You won’t break a leg on our stage (application environment series part 5)
It seems like whenever Apple announces that a new product is being released and the sample is available, the number of shoppers in our local Apple Store increases. Even though all Apple products can be conveniently ordered online, many people prefer to see and use the latest technology before jumping in to make a purchase. Well, at Four51 we schedule a month long Beta Program prior to every major release to let our customers see and use our latest technology before releasing it in to the live environment.

Testing…123…Testing (application environment series part 4)
Have you ever been afraid to make a configuration change to a buyer site because you were not confident that you would get the result that you were looking for…or maybe you were hesitant to apply a custom theme to a live buyer site because you did not know if it would look the way that you wanted it to look. Well, fear no more.

Four51 Application: Bread ‘n’ Butter (application environment series part 2)
As my colleague John Wangaard mentioned in an earlier post, Four51 maintains a variety of fishing lures to support online ordering. (Minnesotans of Scandinavian descent can create a fishing simile out of anything, including e-commerce.) I’ve been asked to write a few lines about the jointed blue Rapala, AKA the production environment. (Four51 maintains separate production, demo, staging, quality assurance and test environments.)

Four51 Application: Good Fishing (application environment series part 1)
![]()
We have the opportunity to do a lot of fishing here in Minnesota. Over the years I have established a favorite lure, a jointed blue Rapala. I love casting it towards shore, watching it land on the water and leaving it a few seconds to float. As I begin to retrieve the lure and let it rise again to the surface, BAM, big fish, big fun! I call the blue Rap my production lure, but that doesn’t mean my tackle box isn’t full of other lures for many different purposes.
