If your organization is competing on the Web, you've probably had to face Web 2.0 challenges: user-created content can be complex, time sensitive, and hard to predict before release. The number of possible configurations seems endless, and yet AJAX and JavaScript can be hard to drive with existing automation tools. Matt Heusser will explore the system issues and discuss his experiences with testing Web 2.0 applications. He will cover a basic strategy for testing Web 2.0 applications, along with what to do tomorrow and what you might want to avoid. Matthew Heusser is a member of the technical staff at Socialtext and has experience in developing, testing, and managing software projects. He is also a contributing editor for Software Test and Performance magazine and an
adjunct instructor of Information Systems at Calvin College.
