Software Testing Gets Real at STPcon

December 1, 2004 —  The first Software Test & Performance Conference, produced by BZ Media LLC, will debut Dec. 7-9 at the Hyatt Regency in the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. The event brings together test/QA experts to teach technical classes on the latest techniques being used in the field.

BZ Media is the publisher of SD Times and Software Test & Performance, a magazine launched in 2004 that is moving to a monthly publishing schedule beginning in February 2005.

“This show is for two categories of attendees: senior people who manage the QA process, and test QA managers who want to work better within the engineering process,” said conference director Alan Zeichick, who is also editor-in-chief of SD Times.

“The old model that you just wrote software and threw it over the wall to testing doesn’t work,” he said.

To that end, the conference will feature classes on such topics as agile processes, model-based testing and test-driven development. The classes will be led by testing practitioners, Zeichick emphasized.

The keynote address, “The Ongoing Revolution in Software Testing,” will be presented Wednesday at 5 p.m. by Cem Kaner, professor of software engineering at Florida Institute of Technology and director of Florida Tech’s Center for Software Testing Education & Research. Kaner is the author of “Lessons Learned in Software Testing,” “Testing Computer Software” and “Bad Software: What To Do When Software Fails.”

The conference expects to draw approximately 400 attendees, according to Zeichick.

Tuesday will feature full-day tutorials, while Wednesday and Thursday will have a series of 90-minute classes and an exhibit hall.

Online registration is available at www.stpcon.com. The conference also will make available on-site registration for the US$1,195 conference.
