Automating Non-Standard User Interface Controls One of the greatest challenges in testing Electronic Design Automation (EDA) applications is automating software that does not use standard user interface (UI) controls recognized by most Automation Capture/Playback tools. This presentation looks at techniques to automate the UI testcases used to test some of Cadence's EDA applications. Learn which techniques were successful and why certain ones failed.

Testing Distributed Objects and Components Distributed objects share many of the characteristics of both traditional distributed systems and object-oriented software. Their appealing flexibility, though, poses some unique testing problems. Using CORBA- and RMI-based systems, John McGregor illustrates the problems and potential faults to be found in a distributed object system. Listen as he discusses and illustrates specific test coverage criteria.
