Call for Papers: DBTest 2009

摘要

The functionality provided by modern database management systems (DBMS), data storage services, and database applications is continuously expanding. New trends in hardware architectures, new data storage requirements, and new usage patterns drive the need for continuous innovation and expansion. As a result, these system/applications are becoming increasingly complex and difficult to validate. As a consequence, testing and tuning these system/applications is becoming increasingly expensive and are often dominating the release cycle. It is not unusual that fifty percent of the development cost is spent on testing and tuning and that several months are reserved for testing before a new release can be shipped.
