Testing Tools and Techniques, host: Thomas Arts

Erlang has been used for testing commercial products, both those written in Erlang - not least Erlang/OTP itself, and other languages, C and Java included. Research on Erlang and model-based testing has gone on for over a decade, with the EU recognizing this by funding the ProTest, project, a 2.5 million euro grant focused on Erlang and Property based testing. This track covers hands-on practical industrial use cases, tools as well as the latest news from the research front.
