4th UCAAT - User Conference on Automated Testing 2016

Key Topics

• Industrial case studies reporting experiences from applying advanced test automation languages, e.g.
  • TTCN-3 (Test and Test Control Notation)
  • TDL (Test description language)
  • And domain-specific languages
  • UTP (UML Testing Profile)
• Experiences and lessons learned from applying advanced test automation processes, e.g.
  • Test Driven Development (TDD)
  • Model-Based Testing
  • Property Based Testing (PBT)
  • Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD)
  • Requirement based test generation and other advanced test processes in industrial settings
  • Behavior Driven Development (BDD)
• Experience reports in the context of
  • Automation of Testing of Big Data
  • Using Big Data techniques in Test Automation
  • Utilizing Cloud services within Test Automation
  • Machine Learning, Mutation, and other advanced stratagems in Automated Testing
  • Automated change impact analyses techniques for Regression test selection
  • O Utilizing Automation in Testing of the Cloud and Cloud based products
  • Automation challenges on testing 5G and Mobile
  • Automated Early Testing (Static Analysis, Profiling, Technical Debt and Test Coverage Measurement)
  • Automation in Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE), and
  • Challenges of testing the Internet of Things in the Telco, Healthcare, Automotive and any other domains
  • Other domains where test automation helps managing the challenges
• Experiences from introducing and using advanced test automation
  • In processes with very short release cycles or in agile environments
  • For testing of non-functional requirements, e.g. usability, security, robustness and performance
  • In the context of DevOps (to bring development and operations together) and, more generally, the effects on company organizations
• Experiences from long term application of test automation
  • Good practices related to architecture and design of test automation software
  • Long term benefits and drawbacks of advanced testing frameworks & methodologies in general
  • Experiences and pitfalls in creating sustainable test automation solutions that can evolve over longer periods of time (particular process, platform, operational policies, application domain, etc.)
  • Standardization efforts related to advanced test automation
  • Continuous improvement practices focusing on cost optimization of test infrastructure and test execution
  • Documenting, managing and maintaining assets produced by automated test (version control and validation of the test scripts and results, tracing of test documents and test executables, ensuring the long term reproducibility of test executions)
