Concurrent Code - Test It! - How?

Explore concurrent code testing strategies in this comprehensive conference talk from code::dive 2020. Gain insights into the unique challenges of testing parallel code, including race conditions and non-deterministic program flow. Learn about tools for major platforms that support concurrent development. Dive deep into a case study on extending existing code with practical guidance for writing and strengthening tests. Benefit from the speaker's experience developing the open-source stlab.concurrency library and working on commercial products. Cover topics such as test design, analysis, decomposition, problem identification, test strategies, and performance measurement. Equip yourself with valuable knowledge to improve your concurrent code testing practices and ensure more robust parallel applications.
