摘要: We present the findings of, to best of our knowledge, first survey on software testing practices carried out in Australian ICT industry. A total 65 organizations from various major capital cities Australia participated survey, which was conducted between 2002 and 2003. The focused five aspects testing, namely methodologies techniques, automated tools, metrics, standards, training education. Based results, current are reported, as well some observations recommendations for future industry academia.
