Issue 5   August 1, 2006

Welcome to the Autumn issue of the STAR Tester. I am pleased with the positive response I have received since the launch of our newsletter in April. Many thanks for your feedback and please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments you may have.

This month we bring you a taste of what the beautiful city of Manchester has to offer you this December. We also have two remarkable articles which take a look at testing in two areas which are not commonly addressed.

Check out our piece on this year’s After Dinner Speaker, the Football Legend Jack Charlton. 
Our Gala Evening in ‘Old Trafford’ is not to be missed!

Remember the Early Bird deadline is September 29th this year.
It’s well worth booking early to save up to €250 on conference fees!

Kind regards,

Susan McAndrew
Editor

It’s a city that has changed the world and still continues to do so; its roots in history are something to be proud of.

There is so much more to Manchester than meets the eye, it’s a city that is waiting to be discovered.

Testing for Accessibility
by Ruth Loebl, Royal National Institute of the Blind, UK

Testing software for accessibility involves little more than imagination and common sense, but you have to pick the right standards, and then get to know some users.

Jack Charlton - Football Legend


Jack Charlton will be this year's guest speaker at the EuroSTAR Gala Evening in 'Old Trafford'.

"Big Jack", as he is affectionately known throughout the game of football, is a soccer legend. Outspoken, though not by many, fearless in defence and no respecter of authority, Jack influenced the game in a career which spanned decades.
