ABOUT THE SPEAKERS AND PRESENTATION:

Abstract:

 The software testing professional is often faced with requirements analysis that drives test cases with many variables, each having multiple degrees of freedom.  Since all combinations of such variables cannot be tested within limited project timelines and resources, combination tools can be used to effectively define the test case data domain.  This presentation will demonstrate how open source combination tools can assist software-testing teams by using combinations of variables to define their test cases, ready for data driven automation scripts or manual testing.
