Enterprise developers looking for a guide to test applications against the new Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) are getting some help from Microsoft. The software giant released a guide detailing the security technologies in the service pack and providing an application testing process to help developers sort through possible disruptions.

To help sort through the update, the latest guidance from Microsoft discusses an application testing process, incompatibility symptoms, mitigation techniques, and deployment scenarios. "It makes no assumption about the size or complexity of the network, and is as relevant to peer-to-peer environments as it is to Active Directory environments," Microsoft said.
