Testing Concurrent Software (Nokia internal)

I attended a talk by Dr. Shmuel Ur (IBM) on testing concurrent software. Really interesting talk, I got a good refresher on concurrency problems, concurrency in Java, how to measure whether your tests are good at testing concurrent programs and finally an introduction to a tool which will enhance the likelihood of finding bugs with your tests (or detecting that the your tests are no good...). The tool ConTest and a related coverage data analysis tool FoCus are available from IBM alphaworks.
