Looking Forward To EuroSTAR 2008
by Bob van de Burgt, EuroSTAR 2008 Programme Chair
 
In one week, the biggest European Conference on Software Testing Analysis and Reviewing will take place in The Hague, The Netherlands. I can still vividly remember all the discussions during EuroSTAR 2007 “Defining the Profession”, discussions that kept going long after the conference itself. Imagine what will happen when we start talking about The Future of Software Testing.

The Future Of Software Testing Is In New Zealand

by David Hayman, The Testing Consultancy, New Zealand

The Trigger
The owner's manual for any car makes for pretty poor reading at the best of times.  However when you have been stuck in a traffic jam for 3 hours, whilst moving no further than an asthmatic snail on Valium could have travelled in half the time, the workings of the anti-lock braking system can suddenly take on a fascination previously only reserved for a 7 year olds experiments with a magnifying glass and an ant on a sunny day.

Testers In The Board Of Directors?

by Martin Kooij, Valori, The Netherlands

I was selected for EuroSTAR, Europe’s leading software testing conference, to give one of the presentations on ‘The Future of Testing’, the theme of the 2008 conference. Of course, as we all know, predicting the future can be considered to be extremely easy. Anything goes; you can’t be proven wrong in 2008. But I love a challenge.

I can, of course, be proven wrong in ten years from now, so please stock this paper in your personal file and send me a mail in 2018 of how wrong I was – or maybe how right I was and especially how successful you are by that time and what you are doing.

Because this is what I predict: We, test managers of today, will be able to move up in the business hierarchy and eventual reach influence in board room decisions.
