Standardizing Test Data Across Your Enterprise
 

For anyone involved in the test industry, the variety of data formats provided by different testers is a huge inconvenience. Many times, additional issues with the test floor environment or IT infrastructure make deploying modern software tools unnecessarily difficult.   

Modern backend operations need their data logs to provide the following:   

  1. Consistent data format across all brands of testers
  2. Real-time data access
  3. High data integrity
  4. Efficient data volumes

Data Blue CurlFor many years now, Pintail's SwifTest product line has provided real-time data access and preprocessing on a wide variety of tester models in support of Pintail's test time reduction and quality improvement solutions. Recently, we have been receiving more and more requests from customers to use SwifTest simply as a data standardization facility that can be easily integrated into their current test infrastructures. In some cases, the data stream is used to feed non-Pintail tools. These can include commercial tools that depend upon clean STDF or systems developed internally by users and IT departments.

Keynote Address  - Angels and Demons of Adaptive Test

 

devilI am honored to be invited as the keynote speaker for Friday's session the D3T workshop being held in conjunction with ITC week in Austin. The workshop will be exploring many facets of Adaptive Test. The title of my talk has been published as "The State of Adaptive Testing Today." I haven't finalized the my presentation, but I am thinking of calling it "Angles and Demons of Adaptive Test."
