Testing and verification problems in industry: technology transfer

The author states that the technology transfer problem seems to be twofold: how to mechanize and how to transfer laboratory-scale effects of mechanization to users. The agenda for solving these problems has three elements: effectiveness demonstration, further mechanization, and enhanced technical communication. The results of these actions will mean: (1) more workshops or short conferences focused on applications and technology transfer; (2) seminars or short courses of all kinds and levels within the professional community´s educational structure; (3) more publishing about software testing methods that really work; and (4) getting larger organizations to be more forthcoming with case studies and plain truth about effectiveness
