EclipseTestingDay2010 Talk FindingTheScope

Finding the Scope

Finding the right scope for a test often seems unclear to developers. This is not made easier by many projects that don't differentiate between test scopes like unit tests, integration tests or functional tests. Matthias Kempka will give some patterns to help finding a reasonable test scope for a test in a RCP application. He will point to various tools that can be used for test development and automation. Small demonstrations for each will give the audience an impression of the tools power. Setup difficulties will be covered as well as consequences that arise from selecting a tool.
