Thomas Arts is Host to the Following Tracks
Erlang-based test automation has been used in commercial products - not least Erlang/OTP itself - for more than a decade, and research on Erlang and model checking has gone on for almost as long.
This track covers test-driven development ranging from
hands-on practical industrial experience to the latest
news from the research front.
