Subject: Talk at the VU

Dear colleagues,

Thursday 26 May at 11:00, there is a talk at the Vrije Universiteit. 

Location: Vrije Universiteit, W&N gebouw, room R223
Speakers: Rix Groenboom (support manager for Parasoft in Europe)
          Leszek Slonczynski (senior consultant for Parasoft in Europe)

Over the past 18 years, Parasoft has developed technology for testing
software programs. It is now regarded the market leader in software
testing solutions with world wide sales and development centers. The
ultimate goal of its technology is to make software work.

The tools focus on analysis of software applications on the source code
level. The tools are able to test 3rd generation programming languages
like Java, C++ and several .Net languages. Second, there are tools to
validate web applications and to test web-services. The tools are used
to support modern development methodologies (like eXtreme Programming)
and are often integrated with open-source software (like Eclipse and
Junit).

The presentation will cover several aspects of the technology, including
parsing, static analysis, automatic rule generation, source-code
instrumentation, test-case generation, and construction of
test-harnesses.  Also, we will discuss the application of this
technology to enforce Application Level Security and to support quality
within outsourced projects.

The speakers are Rix Groenboom (support manager for Parasoft in Europe)
and Leszek Slonczynski (senior consultant and has been responsible for
development of the C++ and .Net testing tools). More information about
Parasoft and the different solutions can be found at: www.parasoft.com
