Businesses are struggling to grapple with the growing phenomenal information explosion. Conventional database systems and business intelligence applications have given way to horizontal databases, columnar designs and cloud-enabled schemas powered by sharding techniques. QA becomes equally challenging as BigData is still evolving and it might take few more years for us to see products / tools for testing BigData. The objective of this session is to provide TestLets which can be sought as point-solutions for specific problems. The TestLets focus around data acquisition, data cataloging, data sampling & quality in real time.

The 11th Annual International Software Testing Conference (STC 2011), organized by QAI in association with Edista Institute (ETI), will take place from 01 - 02 December, 2011 in Bangalore.
In its 11 th year, STC 2011 focuses on the theme of Testing Enterprise 2.0 - Getting Ready for the Quantum Leap 2011 - Year of 25th Anniversary of Quantum Computer. In the current world of continual change, computing has become complex and extremely inseparable from our daily lives. In fact, today our lives depend of computing so much than ever before making the need for testing very imminent.
Building on the theme, STC 2011 focuses on building a narrative to piece together the three corner stones of future business opportunity, growth and continuity - Innovation, Institutionalization, and Inorganic Growth. The focus of the Testing Enterprise 2.0 is to focus on the ability of the organizations, practitioners and leaders to adopt, learn and lead in the wake of the new paradigms. It has become imperative for organizations to rapidly and efficiently adapt to changes. Practitioners are forced to examine challenges holistically rather than reductively to understand relationships to better frame the solutions. At the conference practitioners, organizations share and learn the current best practices, and the future possibilities on how to manage not only Agility and Achievement, but focus on adapting and taming the new challenges of change.
Software testing companies and professionals are re-inventing methodologies, tools, frameworks, and business models to seize emerging opportunities.
