The Xenocode Virtual Application Studio authoring environment allows software developers and systems administrators to easily convert existing applications into virtual machine packages. Xenocode technology has been licensed by Novell and is available as part of Novell ZENworks Application Virtualization.
Xenocode virtual applications can be deployed on the web, intranets, portable storage devices, and existing desktop management infrastructure, including Active Directory, Microsoft SMS, LANDesk Management Suite, and BMC Configuration Management. Xenocode requires no setup, configuration, clients, or device drivers, insulates applications against conflicts, and runs existing applications seamlessly on Windows Vista and locked-down desktops. Unlike traditional hardware virtualization solutions that duplicate an entire host operating system, Xenocode's lightweight application virtualization technology emulates only core operating system features required for application execution.
Xenocode is a powerful virtualization technology that separates applications from the underlying operating system.

(Yes, we're sorry and we hear you!) Building Your Own WebAppsīrowsers featured in the Browser Sandbox were built using Xenocode Virtual Application Studio and deployed using Xenocode WebApp.
What designer or programmer hasn't screamed bloody murder at broken alignments in Internet ExplorerInternet Explorer reviewsInternet Explorer reviews 6? One of the difficult parts of browser testing is that no developer can have every browser type on a single computer for proper testing.Įnter XenoCode Browser Sandbox, a series of virtual applications that can run all popular browsers simultaneously. Explain Web Development Testing Tool XenoCode Browser Sandbox?īrowser testing is one of the most tedious and frustrating parts of web development. Essentially, this allows you to switch between more than one complete workflow, and the concept works best when you design an Activity around a specific task.3. Once added, you can easily add a new virtual desktop or Activity and switch between them. For Activities, you can add the Activities Plasmoid. For Virtual Desktops, you can add the Pager Plasmoid to your panel. For example, imagine creating a Music Activity and having Amarok automatically open when you switch to it, or a Photo Management Activity that automatically opens your preferred folder editor.īoth Activities and Virtual Desktops have a specific Plasmoid that helps you to switch between them. However, with Activities, you can select applications to automatically open whenever you switch to that specific Activity. With Activities, you also have a separate set of running applications per Activity, just as you would with a virtual desktop. However, KDE actually takes this a step further.Īctivities is a concept very similar to Virtual Desktops, but it offers additional features.
After enabling it, the concept works the same here as it does in other environments. To switch between Virtual Desktops, you can add the Pager Plasmoid to your panel to easily switch between them. In System Settings (KDE’s configuration tool), you can click on Workspace Behavior and then Virtual Desktops and enable Virtual Desktops by changing the number of available desktops to any number greater than 1. KDE allows you to utilize Virtual Desktops as well, but the feature is disabled by default.
With Virtual Desktops, you can have completely separate screens running different applications. You may be familiar with Virtual Desktops (also known as Workspaces), which is a concept used in practically every Linux desktop environment. Another of KDE’s extensive features is known as Activities.
