Technical Director

IDT



To see a list of my software testing books, go to http://amazon.com/author/elfriededustin There you will also find my bio: I am a technical director at IDT ( www.idtus.com ) and have been working at IDT since 2006. IDT is a leader in providing automated software testing solutions, called Automated Test and Re-Test (ATRT), to DOD and its contractors. Software development is still an art and that makes automated software testing a special challenge. At IDT (www.idtus.com) we strive to meet that challenge by producing an extensible automated testing framework. For any questions related to automated software testing, ATRT, or the various books here, please contact me at edustin@idtus.com. My bio continued: I have a B.S. in Computer Science with over 20 years of IT experience, implementing effective testing strategies, both on Government and commercial programs. I have implemented automated testing methodologies and testing strategies as an Internal SQA Consultant at Symantec, worked as an Asst. Director for Integrated Testing at the IRS Modernization Efforts, implemented testing strategies and built test teams as a QA Director for BNA Software, and was the QA Manager for the Coast Guard MOISE program, just to name a few of the companies and testing/QA efforts I have worked on in the past 20 years. I am the author and co-author of 6 books related to Software Testing, i.e. author of the book 'Effective Software Testing' and lead author of 'Automated Software Testing' and 'Quality Web Systems,' and co-authored the book 'The Art of Software Security Testing,' together with Chris Wysopal, Lucas Nelson, Dino D'ai Zovi, which was published by Symantec Press, Nov 2006. See my list of books here on this page. My goal is to continue to help further automated software testing advances and contribute to solving the automated software testing challenge.

The Testing Industry's Automated Testing Tool Conundrum – and the Proposed Solution

Friday April 26th 7am 8 5 Comments Automation Testing
Most currently available automated software testing tools are platform-, technology- and/or operating system dependent. For example, you’ll find the typical testing tool vendor website provides a section on “Technologies Supported” and one vendor’s tool strength will be in the windows desktop market, while another’s might be in the browser market or in a combination of markets, but none will support all technology markets.
