I have given a seminar on "Ten Current Note-worthy Trends in the Application of Technology in Software Test Engineering".
Some 400 attendees made their presence and I was deeply excited about having such a very focused event on Software Testing (first such thing in Hyderabad I guess, other than the seminars I have given in other events that were not necessarily only for testing).
Ramesh Loganathan (MD, Progress Software India) has invested interest and energy to make the event happen. Speakers from different Hyderabad based companies gave nice presentations on various topics.
I spoke for an hour (please see the below presentation) sharing my opinions on how currently technology is being used in test engineering. I ended my talk contemplating why we cannot have an aviation-style black-box as a part of software black-box testing so that the problem of irreproducible bugs is more seriously addressed at the source. There is a note from Microsoft sharing the very same viewpoint, published on September 29th 2008. VMWare has a feature of this sort in its world, and it is a good news that the Windows OS itself will have it soon through Visual Studio, making it more real.
The presentation
As good as it gets!
