The
European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), Smartesting and ALL4TEC
partnered at the just concluded user conference in showcasing the benefits of test
automation for industry productivity.
The
User Conference on Advanced Automated Testing (UCAAT) according to
communications expert at ETSI, Ultan
Mulligan, built a new testing community with practitioners from numerous
application areas
DigitalSENSE Business News gathered
that UCAAT which held in Paris between October 22 through 24 this year, was dedicated
to advanced test automation, focusing on integrating model-based testing into
the testing ecosystem.
The
event brought together companies and research bodies from industries as diverse
as telecommunications, IT including banking, pharmaceutical, and
entertainment sectors, automotive, railway, defence, industrial automation,
energy, software and gaming, and coming from the US, South America, Europe and
India.
The IT
sector, Mulligan noted showed the largest growth of interest in the event in
terms of presentation and participation.
Tibor
Csöndes, UCAAT Programme chairman, pointed out that as test process
automation has proven to increase productivity and product quality, the latest
developments in testing technologies pave the way for cheaper, faster and more
efficient testing in industrial development processes.
“UCAAT
was an excellent showcase for the variety and maturity of those technologies,”
Csodes said, stressing that conference attendees had
the unique opportunity to share their experience and have a flavour of the
latest trends in model-based testing as well as test automation with Testing
and Test Control Notation Version 3 (TTCN-3),” Csondes said.
Exhibitors,
he also said, had the opportunity to demonstrate their products and tools on
their booths.
The
conference programme included tutorials and business cases showing large scale
applications and innovative approaches, as well as a barcamp and lightning
poster introductions. Topics covered included cloud, agile testing, embedded
systems, TTCN-3 test frameworks and applications, standardization and safety
critical systems.
Organized
by ETSI Technical Committee “Methods for Testing and Specification” (TC MTS)
and attracting over 200 participants, UCAAT 2013 was the largest and most
diverse ETSI user conference related to testing to date, confirming that test
process automation is now an essential part of industrial development.
Thus, bringing
together test practitioners from many different testing domains was no doubt
one of the biggest achievements of the conference. ETSI will use this synergy
to start to build a new community on advanced automated testing.
