Abstract -------- Software testing is an important, but also very hard task. In this talk we will present a testing approach, where parts of the testing process in done automatically. In order for this to happen we have made an extended version of Java that enables the programmer to specify a formal description of Equivalence Partitions and to use Design by Contract as in Eiffel. The combination of these two extensions allows a tool to generate and evaluate test cases automatically. The talk will explain the tool step by step and provide a concrete example. Bio --- Per Madsen is a Ph.D. student from Aalborg University in Denmark. He got a master degree in Computer Science in 1998. From 1998 until 2001 he was employed as a Software Developer in a private company working with baggage handling control systems in airports. After realizing that software testing is a major problem in the industry he returned to the university to become a Ph.D. student. He is now working on the design and implementation of a tool for automatic test case generation. From October 1th 2003 until February 1th 2004 he is a guest at the Chair of Software Engineering, ETH Zurich. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- REGISTRATION ------------ Please DO NOT reply to this e-mail!
