Software Testing Conference (STC 2009) to be held in Bangalore on Nov 19-20, 2009

New Delhi, Delhi, India, Friday, September 11, 2009 -- (Business Wire India) -- QAI (www.qaiglobal.com), the world's leading Operational Excellence consulting firm, announced its 9th Annual Software Testing Conference (STC) 2009 to be held in Bangalore on November 19th and 20th, 2009. The theme of STC 2009 is "Leading Continuity and Change". STC 2009 will focus on building a leadership narrative to piece together the three cornerstones of growth and continuity - True Commitment, Competence and Coherence and focus on the ability of the organizations, practitioners and leaders. With more than 600+ delegates expected, the conference, in its 9th year, celebrates India's global leadership in Software Testing. The conference is a key player in bringing together practitioners and thought leaders from the Industry, Academia and Government, for sharing and exchanging ideas and learning in the area of Software Testing & Process improvement. The two day conference will be followed by post-conference tutorials across various cities.

STC 2009, organized in association with the Edista Testing Institute (ETI), is a platform where practitioners from various organizations share and learn the current best practices, and the future possibilities on how to manage not only change and continuity, but perhaps paradox more generally. Ninth in the series, STC 2009 will include four specific tracks focusing on Test Business Leadership, Test Program Management (Test Management, Team Management, Test Estimation etc.), Techniques and Tools and Emerging Areas.

Change is continuous and ongoing in current dynamic and ever changing environment. The need of the hour is constant change, which is, at times, conflicting with the notion of continuity and need for building agility. Leaders and leading organizations need to include continuity in their thinking and to manage for continuity in a constructive way, while enabling constant change and creating speed and efficiency in the practice.

Recognizing the leadership position, practitioners from various Testing organizations contest for The Best of the Best Leadership Award at the conference. There are regional qualification rounds being conducted and the finalists from various cities will converge at Bangalore for Best of Best Awards on Nov 19th.

Exclusive CXO Breakfast sessions are also being planned which will be only by invitation to be attended by CXOs and the leaders from the Software Testing industry.

Delegates attending will be the representatives from the leading software companies in the Asia Pacific region including CTOs, CXOs, Testing Experts, Consultants and Trainers, Offshore Testing Center Heads, Testing Managers, Test Center Heads and Practitioners, Software Engineers and Developers, Project Managers, Team leaders, and others. There has also been widespread interest from various international delegations like Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Sri Lanka and Australia, to participate in the conference as it offers one of the rare opportunities to meet the industry experts and gurus.
