STPCon Makes Tracks on Testing


By Edward J. Correia
October 15, 2006 —  Management, performance and security are among the new tracks at this year’s Software Test & Performance Conference, coming to the Hyatt Regency Cambridge in Boston, Nov. 7-9. STPCon is produced by BZ Media, which publishes SD Times.

The conference also will host tracks featuring Rob Sabourin, a professor of software engineering at McGill University; and Rex Black, a veteran of the software and systems engineering industry and author of several books on software testing. Sabourin’s sessions include just-in-time testing techniques and testing for agile development. Black will present a full-day tutorial on how to assess test team effectiveness. His 90-minute sessions include code coverage metrics and how to use them, and a two-part session on identifying and mitigating risks through testing.

Black, president of RBCS, a consultancy offering test automation and quality assurance services, also will deliver a keynote address titled “Five Trends in Software Engineering.”

The 2006 conference marks the end of the tenure of conference chairman Lindsey Vereen, who is retiring from his role as editor of Software Test & Performance magazine.

“It’s been a pleasure to serve as conference chair and gratifying to work with the dedicated men and women on the front line of quality assurance,” said Vereen, who has chaired the event since its inception. “They have a formidable responsibility, and I admire their commitment.”
