iqnite Australia 2012
iqnite Australia 2012 will be held from November 5 - 6 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition centre. Over 200 software testing professionals and vendors gather at iqnite Australia to share information regarding the latest industry trends and more. The conference is now considered the biggest and best forum for the Australian and New Zealand region in terms of software quality management, testing and process optimisation. The Call for Papers is open NOW.
Conference Theme - CALM Testing (Complete Application Lifecycle Management Testing)
Improving quality across the whole application lifecycle is the next frontier for the IT industry. Application Lifecycle Management has emerged as a key focus, going beyond the software development lifecycle to embrace everything from conceptualisation to decommissioning. We face many challenges: getting the right ideas in place, providing the right governance across project implementation, and even ensuring that transformational projects designed to replace legacy systems actually deliver the streamlined business processes they promise, instead of just adding another layer of complexity.
Where does the software testing discipline fit in? With a focus on quality, strong analytical and technical skills, and an orientation to ensuring business value is delivered, software testing has a lot to offer the whole application lifecycle – but we also have a lot to learn from the teams that manage that lifecycle..

- The role of software testing in vendor selection, application evaluation and contract management
