The winner will be announced on Thursday 6th December at the Gala Awards Dinner in the Vasa Museum, Stockholm. This event has been extremely popular and has already sold out.

Titled: ‘Regulating Professional Competence: How do we know we are fit to practice software testing?’ presented by Isabel Evans, Testing Solutions Group, UK.

Forensic Software Engineering:Taking the Guesswork Out of Testing

by Les Hatton, Kingston University, UK

Les Hatton's Keynote 'Forensic Software Engineering: Taking the Guesswork out of Testing' will take place on Thursday 6th December at EuroSTAR, 2007.

TMap® Next For Result Driven Testing

by Michiel Vroon, Sogeti, The Netherlands

Michiel Vroon's Tutorial 'Business Driven Test Management With TMap® Next' will take place on Tuesday 4th December at EuroSTAR 2007, Stockholm.

Today’s challenges
In today’s challenging business climate, organisations put more focus on getting the maximum business value from their software. Consequently, rapid delivery and software quality continue to become more important, and the risks of insufficient software quality increase.

Based on this insight, organisations can make informed decisions on whether to take software into operation. With proper testing, organisations can make better decisions and effectively manage risk.

Spotlight on the Mini-Track Sessions

This year’s EuroSTAR programme contains six exciting Mini-Track Sessions. These 20 minute sessions provide a fantastic opportunity for testers who have not previously spoken at EuroSTAR. As the speaking time is half of that of a traditional track session, the pressure and anxiety is considerably reduced. I advise those of you who are joining me at EuroSTAR, to attend at least one of these sessions throughout the conference week. It might just inspire the speaker inside of you during the Call For Papers 2008!
