Morning Keynote
Test Patterns

  Dr. Alan Hartman
IBM Haifa
Research Laboratory
Israel

 

Patterns are a way to analyze solutions to recurring problems, make them reusable and communicate them. Patterns were introduced in the field of architecture in the 1970s by Christopher Alexander, and greatly popularized in the field of software engineering by the “Gang of Four” (Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides) who published their book in 1994. In the last 5-10 years the language of patterns has also been adopted by some parts of the testing community.

In this talk Alan Hartman will discuss the essential questions faced by testers who are interested in test patterns:

  • What is a test pattern?
  • Where do I find test patterns?
  • How do I choose which test pattern to use?
  • How do I create my own test patterns?
  • Will the use of test patterns make me a better tester?
