QA&TEST

QA&TEST® invites the professionals of QA & testing for Embedded Systems to share their knowledge and experiences in the Conference. The Call for Papers has started and will end on 15 February 2010. Participate as a speaker at QA&TEST® will bring you the possibility of establishing direct contact with directors and senior executives of technology companies. QA & TEST will allow you to improve your business network and build relationships with potential customers, from the vantage position of being recognized as an expert in QA & Testing for Embedded Systems.

Share your embedded knowledge

The International Technical Committee of QA&TEST® valued especially those papers dealing with actual experiences and methods and innovative technology applications, specially related to embedded systems, according to the themes proposed in the colum of the right .

Two types of papers may be submitted:

  • Tutorials: during a 4 hour session the offer will be an insight into technologies, tools, instruments and working methods, showing clearly and concisely the practical elements of their implementation.

  • Presentations: 45 minute presentations on topics of QA & Testing for Embedded Systems and Best Practices in the QA & Testing field.


    • Deadline: 15th February 2010
Documentation
  • Abstract of the presentation / tutorial (minimum length: 50 lines); please, indicate the minimum skill level required by the audience (low, intermediate, advanced)

  • Short description of your CV/BIO

  • Preliminary version of the presentation / tutorial

You can send all the documentation through our website www.qatest.org or by e-mail (info@qatest.org).

The International Committee of Experts from QA&TEST® will select the most relevant papers and the results will be published during April. Papers can be sent in English or Spanish. Simultaneous interpretation services will be provided during the conference. QA&TEST® is much more than a Conference; send your paper today and don't miss this extraordinary event!
