Subtle concurrency errors in multithreaded libraries that arise because of incorrect or inadequate synchronization are often difficult to pinpoint precisely using only static techniques. On the other hand, the effectiveness of dynamic detectors is critically dependent on multithreaded test suites whose execution can be used to identify and trigger concurrency …
Learn how a large number of cheap Raspberry Pi computers running Java can be combined into a powerful load testing engine for networking applications and how this tool has been used in the real world. The Raspberry is fun, and with Java it shines.
Whenever someone asks me what I do for a living, I tell them that my job is to take software from idea to release as efficiently as possible. I provide this service for multiple teams as a time, without writing a single test case. But in my journey to here, …
