About

In 2017, the National Software Testing Conference saw over 300 attendees from a variety of different businesses that included easyJet, British Gas, Vodafone, Guardian Media and Sony; all congregating to partake in fabulous speaker sessions, interactive workshops, and enthralling Q&A debates.

As the software testing arena grows, so does the thirst for information in this valuable sector. We are pleased to announce that the fifth National Software Testing Conference 2018 will take place in central London, May 2018.

The National Software Testing Conference is a UK‑based conference that provides the software testing community at home and abroad with invaluable content from revered industry speakers; practical presentations from the winners of The European Software Testing Awards; roundtable discussion forums that are facilitated and led by key figures; as well as a market leading exhibition, which will enable delegates to view the latest products and services available to them.

The National Software Testing Conference is open to all, but is aimed and produced for those professionals that recognise the crucial importance of software testing within the software development lifecycle. Therefore the content is geared towards C‑level IT executives, QA directors, heads of testing and test managers, and senior engineers and test professionals.

First time at the conference and I’ll definitely be back.

Attendees

All conferences require great content to be successful. This is usually provided by an array of formidable speakers who have all demonstrated knowledge and experience to assist others. However, the National Software Testing Conference does not solely rely upon impressive individuals. The organisers believe that in order to provide up‑to‑date and cutting‑edge content, the majority of individuals speaking and addressing an audience should be appointed based on recent success and projects. By adopting this approach, delegates at the event receive pragmatic advice to current issues that, in turn, allows them to head back to the office and implement change with immediate effect.

So what better way than to have a selection of speakers at the National Software Testing Conference who have delivered or implemented projects, strategies, methodologies, management styles, innovations, ground‑breaking uses of technologies, or best practice approaches in the last 12 months, who have then gone on to win a prestigious and independent award for their feats? Speakers at the National Software Testing Conference are not just testing heads, managers, directors, or individuals that have been hand‑picked due to their exceptional levels of knowledge. The speakers are active testing professionals that have fought their way through literally dozens and dozens of like‑minded professionals and come out on top.
