The Past, Present, and Future of Software Test Automation Tools
Gregory Pope, Gregory Pope Consulting
Gregory Pope examines the past, present, and future of software testing
tools. By contrasting the best thinking of 10 years ago with what’s
happening today, he brings a clear and unique perspective to what the
future might hold. Greg also provides insight into the successes and
failures of once-promising tools. Using the historical factors that make
test automation successful, he demonstrates how to pick tools that will
be successful now and in the future.
• Find out if you could benefit from a tool purchase
• Explore tool leverage, tool integration, and the “something-for-nothing” factor

Lessons Learned in Test Automation
Bret Pettichord, Pettichord Consulting
Can test automation really advance your testing mission? The answer to
that question is a resounding “That depends!” But to make it happen you
have to provide value to development and find new ways of testing. Bret
Pettichord offers lessons from the trenches in building powerful test
suites. He shares his experiences as well as those of other test
automators to help you avoid the pitfalls others have already stumbled
onto.
• Find out why automated regression tests only find a minority of bugs
• Determine which interfaces you should test
• Select from advanced techniques such as keyword-driven and state-model based automation
