Erlang-based test automation has been used in commercial products - not least Erlang/OTP itself - for more than a decade, and research on Erlang and model checking has gone on for almost as long. This track covers test-driven development ranging from hands-on practical industrial experience to the latest news from the research front.

This track is about speed and integration. You will get a peek inside the Erlang VM, learn how to make your own code run really fast, integrate efficiently with other languages and make secure RPCs.

The Tools and Gadgets Track explores the latest tools, academic research projects and library applications for the Erlang Developers and Testers.

Erlang has quickly become one of the hottest technologies for Cloud computing, delivering scalability, fault-tolerance and messaging capability to sites like GitHub, Reddit, Heroku, NASA Nebula and Facebook, just to name a few. This track will update you on exciting new developments in the Cloud.

Perhaps your use of Erlang has made you curious about other functional programming languages? Perhaps you are faced with having to understand and interface with other languages in your work? Or perhaps you just want to learn something new? This track lets you widen your horizons and delve into things non-Erlang.

As Erlang's popularity grows, it keeps breaking into new niches and companies not previously associated with the language. In this track we get to listen to the experiences of users better known for their association with other technologies rather than Erlang.
