There is a great article on non-SQL databases in the June issue of Dr. Dobb's Digest. It basically surveys the NoSQL movement, something that I quite frankly had no idea existed before I read about it this past weekend: non-relational databases designed to handle terrabytes of data across multiple geographically divers systems. I'm far from a database expert, but I've dealt with them enough so that I could follow the article.
I'm bringing this up today because it dovetails in with a post I wrote almost a year ago. The point I was making back then was that, with memory and computing so cheap, large amounts of data and statistics would become an increasingly larger part of a test engineer's job. The Dr. Dobb's article complements this idea by describing the tools being developed to deal with this data.

Interesting items about test engineering in general, whether you run script engines simulating GUI use, write LabVIEW code all day, or do hard core SPC.
This is only a test
Test engineering is a profession that can mean many things, depending on where you work. Whether you run script engines simulating GUI use, write LabVIEW code all day, or do hard core SPC, this blog is intended to be interesting.
Test Engineering Links
Info Labview - Among the many LV sites, this one is very straightforward.
National Instruments - Aside from LabVIEW, they make a lot of hardware.
Test and Measurement World Magazine - It's been around a long time.
International Test Conference - I've never been there, but it looks interesting, and they have technical papers that were presented in past conferences.
