BREAKING TODAY’S BOUNDARIES TO SHAPE TOMORROW Welcome to the first ever National Software Testing Conference. We decided to launch this Conference to further quench the demand for information amongst the software testing community, and to help move the market forward. Working closely with the profession, with the launch of The European Software Testing Awards (TESTA) in 2013, and now the launch of The National Software Testing Conference – both supported by Test Magazine – we know only too well the commitment of the individuals, organisations and groups that operate within the software testing industry. With a strapline of “Breaking today’s boundaries to shape tomorrow”, the National Software Testing Conference aims to excel the software testing community and help you breakthrough the various challenges faced to aid future success. We have an exciting and extremely valuable two-day programme lined up, which will cover the core areas of software testing, including strategy, management, process and tools. Delegates will benefit from up-todate and cutting-edge content, and receive pragmatic advice to current issues that will allow professionals to head back to the office and implement change with immediate effect. In addition, there will also be a series of interactive
Executive Debates, which welcome delegates to discuss, debate, and resolve some of the key issues facing the industry. Furthermore, a number of presenters will join together on a Q&A panel before the close of Day One. This promises to be an enthralling, stimulating, as well as lively, part of the day where delegates can put questions to the panel, regarding their individual presentations, or general questions about problems or issues faced in the software testing industry and how to overcome them. We are very excited to bring you a variety of speakers, which includes many from very well-known companies, as well as testing professionals who have fought their way to the top and have been recognised at TESTA as a result. Please take a look at the full Conference programme, and speaker and company profiles over the next few pages for more information. I hope you find this Conference extremely valuable and highly useful, not to mention a great networking opportunity!
Enjoy!
