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