Testing Web Services: A Dose of Reality Web services truly have the potential to change the world! Along with the magic of Web services comes a dose of reality. For Web services to truly be a panacea to the masses, quality is imperative. The old guard of "not enough" resources or processes must be challenged. The testing of Web services is one aspect of ensuring quality, but is it prudent to automate the testing of Web services? In this presentation, Theresa Lanowitz explores answers to these important questions:
- How are Web services tested today? What is real in 2003? Are we ready for test automation or should we conduct manual testing?
- What is the future direction of testing Web services? What is the outlook for 2005 and beyond?
- Who are the vendors making in-roads today? Who is laying the groundwork for the future?

Web Application Performance Testing with the Open Source Hyades Project What if you could build and run multi-user performance tests with a free, open source tool? Then, this coming Monday, you could validate multi-user application performance before deploying your application to your users, automate performance tests without spending money, and add additional features and capabilities to the
performance test tool as desired. Join Jeff Robbins to learn about two open source tools, Eclipse and Hyades.

Beyond GUI: What You Need to Know about Database Testing Today's complex software systems access heterogeneous data from a variety of back-end databases. The intricate mix of client-server and Web-enabled database applications are extremely difficult to test productively. Testing at the data access layer is the point at which your application
communicates with the database. Tests at this level are vital to improve not only your overall test strategy, but also your product's quality. Mary Sweeney explains what you need to know to test the SQL database engine, stored procedures, and data views. Find out how to design effective automated tests that exercise the complete database layer of your applications. You'll learn about the most common and vexing defects related to SQL databases and the best tools available to support your testing efforts.

Testing a Distributed Application Written in Embedded Windows CE How will your Windows CE application perform once you start deploying it in the "real world"? This session addresses the many issues developers face when building distributed applications using embedded Windows. The ability to set up your application simulating the "real world" in a controlled lab environment using automated testing tools-along with the option to troubleshoot-saves critical time and money. Don't forget to be aware of the many pitfalls you face. You must also identify tools and strategies to resolve your product's problems before they impact your company's "real" customers.

STAREAST 2000: Automated Testing of Embedded Software Automating testing for embedded systems has been a real problem in the past. The only option was a customized approach, which is expensive and very risky. There are now mature catalogued hardware interfaces available that can be assembled with a mature scripting language complete with a rich tool set to drive these interfaces. Learn of one successful approach using this "off-the-shelf" system. Discover the important characteristics of a testing system for embedded processes.

Graybox Software Testing in the Real World in Real-Time The Graybox Testing Methodology is used to test embedded systems. Recent studies have confirmed that the Graybox method can be applied in real-time using software executing on the target platform, expanding the capabilities of this method to include not only path coverage verification but also worst-cast/best-case path timing. Learn how this methodology has been applied in a real-time environment to validate mission-critical embedded software systems.
