Calendar entry for CONQUEST 2008

I am pleased to welcome you to CONQUEST 2008 in September 24-26, 2008 in Potsdam, Germany. Since 1997, CONQUEST – the International Conference on Quality Engineering in Software Technology - is the platform for software professionals to get to know newest methods and tools for quality engineering from industry and research, to listen to practical experiences and show cases, to see how quality engineering methods are successfully deployed in industrial environment, to learn about recent tool and service offers, to share experiences and to discuss future directions.

CONQUEST 2008 will feature tutorials and presentations of internationally renowned speakers and high-quality peer-reviewed presentations from members of the quality engineering community. It provides a full picture of software quality in theory and practice.

It is a particular pleasure to celebrate at CONQUEST the 10th anniversary of the Software Testing Working Group at ASQF, which has been created back in 1998 and runs currently over 20 meetings a year with over 500 participants. It also contributed to the Certified Tester Initiative in Germany, which can currently reference together with over 30 other national testing boards to over 60.000 certified testers. All working group members, certified testers and interested parties are cordially invited to the Software Tester Welcome, which is supported by the German Testing Board. In addition, the German Testing Forum will take place for the first time in Potsdam as an independent, but affiliated event of CONQUEST.

A variety of international speakers and participants will give you practical and research insights into current and topical aspects of quality engineering. This broad perspective will be attendees from all over the world including Europe, Asia and America. Our exhibition about recent methods, services and tools will include 15 national and international companies from the software quality field and will give you detailed insights into their tool and service offers.

I wish us all a successful and enjoyable CONQUEST 2008.

Yours truly,

Ina Schieferdecker
