It is hard to know how to test a large application. Luckily in the open source world there are several very good examples on how this is accomplished and we can learn from these examples.

During the talk we'll go over the testing frameworks (build servers, smoke servers, reporting systems) employed by many open source tools.

Obviously we'll look at Perl5, Perl6/Pugs and Parrot but probably many others. See the abstract URL for blog entries I write about the subject.
