Course: Erlang For Test And Support Engineers
Target Audience: Support and Test Engineers
Prerequisites:
• Engineering Degree
• Basic testing and programming knowledge.
Objectives:
• Understanding of the basics of Erlang.
• Reading and correcting Erlang Programs.
• Writing basic test suites.
• Understanding of the test and debug strategies needed in finding bugs.
• Understanding of the debugging primitives so as to be able to implement own tools.
• Understanding on how OTP is used to structure Erlang based systems.
• Understand and maintain Mnesia.
Goal: Basic knowgledge on testing and supporting Erlang/OTP based systems.
Duration: Five days
Description: Erlang/OTP for Test and Support is a hands-on five day introductory course developed for test and support engineers. Its objectives are to give participants the knowledge to read, support, test and debug Erlang/OTP based programs. The course contains all the Erlang basics such as sequential and concurrent programming, along side error handling and the Open Telecom Platform. Testing and debugging tools and constructs are covered in depth, giving participants the knowledge to implement their own tools or use and adapt existing ones. OTP design principles and concepts are introduced, providing the necessary base to understand the structure of Erlang based systems. Two sets of exercises are provided. The first requires basic software experience, and is aimed at engineers developing test suites or trouble shooting the code. The second set of exercises is aimed at engineers supporting and trouble shooting systems, but who are not requiered to do any coding.

Course: Open Telecom Platform
Target Audience: Software Developers and Support and Test Engineers with programming experience.
Prerequisites:
• Erlang By Example (or similar) for software developers.
• Erlang for Test and Support (or similar) with six to twelve months full time Erlang experience for others.
Objectives:
• Understand the design principles of OTP.
• Understand OTP behaviours.
• Understand OTP System Configuration.
• Understand the basics of Mnesia.
• Awareness of the available OTP applications.
Goal:
• Test and Develop complex Erlang/OTP systems.
• Take Erlang Certification Exam
Duration: Five days
Description: The Open Telecom Platform course covers advanced Erlang features such as design patterns, applications and libraries. It’s objective is to give the participants the ability to develop and test systems using OTP. It focuses on implementing and using the OTP design patterns, including generic servers, finite state machines and event handlers. It describes how applications are configured and included in larger systems, presenting some of the applications included in the OTP release, the System Architecture Support Library being one of them. Mnesia, the distributed real time database is covered in detail, including Mnemosyne, traceability, and support and maintenance issues.
