Another question for the group:
In the 80s, we had Single processor apps on PCs
In the 90s, we had Thin Client - Heavy Server Systems with
client/server apps
In the 2000s, we will have Medium sized distributed Components (J2EE,
.Net,etc) on multi-mode devices (pdas, cell phones, tablet pc,
wireless email clients, etc)
In 2010 - who the hell knows (if anyone knows, I'd love to hear!!!)
Now - look at how testing has changing
Clearly the era of the 90s created a need for a whole new kind of
network and load testing b/c frankly networks didn't really exist in
the same way in the 70s and 80s.
Lets say you are a software company now in the 2000s developing web
services - is there some huge type of bug, problem, issue that you
should be worried about that no one has thought of yet? I.e. because
it didn't even really exist in the 90s? There's so much marketing BS
on the web about testing tools - but its all backward looking - how to
test apps, networks, etc, etc - few of these seem to really target
what is new and unique about web services and the distributed and
multi-modal nature of deployment.
I'm curious to hear some discussion or commentary on what are the bugs
that a software company needs to be thinking about if they are doing
web services development.
