    • How modiles 

What are the domains? What are the tools we want so hare?

  • Kdb has Q Unit

  • How do we integrate with those tools?

  • Is there a way to integrate with more standard tools OR, if we need to build stuff that is more Q specific, is there stuff we can do together and/or identify tools that work?

  • Question asked about ODP – Rob explained that that a testing framework is on ODP roadmap
