Event-Based Test Generation for Distributed Systems Examine how a fundamental test design approach can simplify both modeling and scripting. Such an approach allows test cases to be generated for testing of functionality, capacity, concurrency, and performance using various execution tools. David Carman demonstrates this approach while testing an event-based distributed call processing system.

A Model for Successful Software Testing Automation SAIC was tasked with automating the regression testing for a very large customer order processing system containing multiple screens with hundreds of interactive entries and options. Through careful requirement analysis, careful tools selection, and advanced scripting and testing techniques, the job was reduced to two programs with less than 5,000 lines of script and greater flexibility for future enhancements.
