Tester conferences in Europe or an excuse for poking?
We have already written earlier about the diversity of cities captured by testers within our former homeland (now CIS), which appear in batches after the next SQA Days . And now I decided to look further beyond the borders of the CIS and ask, is there life on Mars? And I decided to search for it on the Internet, and what should a quality conference be to offer to a “quality” person?
There are difficulties with sorting knowledge. Some conferences have already ended, there are old dates, but no new ones. In part, there are already new dates and writing old dates is not comme il faut. Some conferences are so nimble that they are difficult to attribute to one particular region, as they constantly migrate, in an attempt to escape from the "quality" person. Only industry practical conferences were subject to review, i.e. non-scientific in various research institutes on the problems of verification, validation, etc. Scientific conferences are worthy of a separate article. I tried to choose large, regular events. Suspicious conference startups ignored. Subject to review only the conference, which is 100% about testing and quality. Conferences about Software Engeneering as a whole, including about quality, were not included in the review. I took the latest actual dates for each conference, sorted the conferences by region based on where they are taking place or will be held, but indicated which conferences are not geostationary (eco folded?) - i.e. not tied to the city, but also kurales in different countries. For interest immediately tried to collect info and price list. And let it be! If possible, if the conference found a valuable link - a la materials of speeches from previous years - provided a link. The dates in bold are highlighted in the future, i.e. you can still catch them! :) ')
And on Habré it seems there are limits on the length of the article? The review included America, Asia, Africa and Australia with New Zealand. But do not fit! Then he left the most delicious - Europe / CIS. But a number of conferences such as GTAC or CITCOM are international, which will be held once in America and then in Europe. And where to include them?).
Europe's largest conference. Habro jnechaeva man has even started to prepare a report on this event . Useful materials are in their community, available after registration.
