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.

The Science and Art of Web Site Load Testing The magnitude and unpredictability of Internet loads pose unique testing challenges for Web sites. The only sure way to know how a Web site will behave under a heavy user load is to perform a load test. In this presentation, learn the core principles and techniques necessary for highly realistic and revealing Web site load tests. Listen to several case studies that illustrate why Web sites cannot afford to ignore load testing.

Using Risk Analysis in Testing Anne Campbell provides insight into how a risk analysis grid was effectively implemented at IDX as a device to gauge QA team performance and as a communication tool to the development team. This valuable tool listed functionality and the risk associated with it, helping IDX focus their testing in higher risk areas. Discover how a risk analysis matrix can be used to plan your testing efforts and increase the quality of your software project.

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.

Testing Strategy Changes for eBusiness Applications The U.S. market for eBusiness software and services is expected to grow from $25 billion in 1998 to $104 billion in 2003. Delivering quality Web applications that meet your business needs the day they are implemented has become a critical challenge for IT managers. As business critical applications become more complex, so has the testing process. Learn how the complexity of the architecture and rapid application development has caused testing to require a redefined strategy, revised approach, tools, and trained/experienced resources.
