Activity: PiCToR Workshop

Testing is often considered as a “necessary evil”. In an ideal world, testing would not be needed. Unfortunately, testing efforts are needed to guarantee certain quality and safety levels. Testing usually requires big and continuous investments of which the return (ROI) is not always clear. Under-doing testing may result in quality and safety problems. Over-doing your test effort may result in long release cycles and high cost with no immediate impact on the quality of final product. To make things worse, software product development is a highly dynamic environment, which forces you to constantly keep an eye on the efficiency and effectiveness of your testing strategy.

PiCToR is organizing a half day workshop around this topic on Tuesday March 12th, from 16h-19h at Sirris Brussels. The goal of this highly interactive workshop will be to gather and discuss your concrete testing challenges. To bootstrap the discussion an overview of the state of the art in software testing will be given including promising new testing methods, like search based testing and test driven development.
