Code Coverage: Don't Release Without It How do you know if you have done a good job of testing your product? Banged around on the product and found no problems? NOT! The only way to assure you are fully testing your product is by running code coverage numbers while you test. Only code coverage gives you the data that confirms your test cases are hitting the mark.

Ensuring Software Maturity Via Software State Criteria You can increase confidence in software releasability (quality, time-to-market) by implementing processes that allow you to gauge and benchmark software maturity via software state models. Software state transition is subject to established criteria, such as software engineering, best practices, etc. Learn how ADP successfully implemented software releasability improvements by defining and implementing transition benchmarks including entry/exit criteria.

Paradigms of Black Box Software Testing In this practitioner-oriented talk, Cem Kaner uses observations and anecdotes from his experiences to broaden and diversity your approach to the design and development of the class of tests called "Black Box." Listen as he explores the conceptual differences among significantly different approaches to testing at the functional and system level without using knowledge of the program code. Examine examples that will guide your thinking about testing within a particular paradigm. Discover the questions that a tester might ask under these approaches to design better tests. Learn what makes for a great test case or test suite under a paradigm.

T-Shirt versus Kimono in Software Testing Can your testing efforts eliminate 99.98% of the bugs made during software development? If not, are there cost-effective methodologies that you can use to reach this goal? Tsuneo Yamaura explains current methods that make this goal attainable, and draws on personal experience to show how it can be done in less time using fewer personnel than you might think. Learn about the differences and similarities between American and Japanese software testing methods and discover how features of each can be combined to form a new and more efficient software testing process.
