QWE2002 Paper VT4 Mr. Martin Gijsen ConTest: the Automation Architecture for the TestFrame Method |
|
While test automation offers very interesting benefits, making it work often proves a (very) significant challenge. The TestFrame method for test automation and the supporting ConTest architecture and tools have proven themselves as flexible solutions to achieve high quality products when time-to-market is essential. They have been applied successfully in hundreds of projects, including very large ones, for GUI, web, embedded and distributed systems. This presentation will explain why they have been so successful and how they can work for other (= your) systems as well.
Originally a software engineer, Martin Gijsen soon developed an interest in test automation, where software engineers can use their skills to support testers. In his five year professional career he has been a software engineer, a test engineer (or test automator) and a test analyst, all for (very) large systems. He holds a degree in Computer Science, has published several articles on test automation and has given talks at both national and international conferences.
