Greetings from a surprisingly sunny Ireland! In this issue I have a special article from Bob van de Burgt containing details of 'The Future of Software Testing Manifesto' which will be created during EuroSTAR 2008.
This Manifesto will give major guidelines for the testing community’s journey into the future and workshops will be run throughout this year’s conference by two highly recognized experts- Dorothy Graham and Isabel Evans. The Manifesto will be revealed in the closing session on Thursday Nov 13th.
We have a very exciting Webinar taking place on Wednesday June 11th - Keynote Speakers, James Whittaker and Randall Rice reveal their thoughts on ‘The Future of Software Testing’ during this 30 minute event. Register Now to secure your place!

On top of all the great presentations that will be part of EuroSTAR 2008 we would like to make a statement about the future of software testing to the test community worldwide; a Manifesto that gives declaration of principles and intentions for our journey into the future. This manifesto will be the result not just of a number of special workshops that will be held during the conference, but also through input from all the delegates and speakers who would like to contribute. This will be done via whiteboards available throughout the conference to create mind maps of testing and its future. The result of the manifesto will be presented on the last day of the conference and published on the internet. We know that others have published specific manifestos, and we will take these into account as inputs.
