2009 Session: Large-Scale Testing of Highly Configurable Systems
Thursday, 14:15 - 15:05
Track: Test
Software engineers increasingly emphasize agility and flexibility in their designs and development approaches. They increasingly use distributed development teams, rely on component assembly and deployment rather than green field code writing, rapidly evolve the system through incremental development and frequent updating, and use flexible product designs supporting extensive end-user customization.
Prerequisites
Basic software development skills will be sufficient
Expectations
Learn about new approaches to large-scale testing of highly-configurable systems
