Getting Things Done: Practical Web Application/e-Commerce Stress Testing Web and e-commerce applications are still the rising, often unreachable, stars of the testing world. Your team's ability to effectively stress test Web applications-before your customers do-is critical. This double-track session shows you the tools that support stress testing, including several that cost absolutely nothing. It also walks you through a variety of approaches to stress testing that are available during all phases of development. This journey allows you to develop a plan to automate your stress testing, as well as know how and when to implement it as part of the software development process.

Testing for Section 508 Accessibility Compliance Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act is a key issue affecting testing for more and more companies. Section 508 requirements include a set of Web design guidelines that allow users with various disabilities to more easily access information from the Web. Adoption language by the federal government in June 2001 stated that all federal agency Web sites must be 508 compliant-but the push for accessibility is spreading to state government and the private sector as well. Bill Chandler covers who's expected to become compliant, when you'll need to be compliant, and how to find out your current level of accessibility. Learn to leverage existing tools and processes to test the accessibility of your Web site and make the necessary changes. Plus, figure out how Section 508 will affect your future development processes.

Compressing Test Execution Time to a 24-Hour Cycle Software development projects face a growing trend of tighter schedules, more complex environments, and increased time-to-market pressures. Thomas Poirier presents a composite case study that explores how frequently encountered situations can severely impact the duration of the Test Execution Cycle (TEC). Learn strategies and tactics to shorten the TEC to within a 24-hour cycle without sacrificing test coverage.
