"FUTURE TRENDS IN TESTING"
Testing as a profession has progressed greatly in the past decade. The widespread use of Object Oriented methodologies, third party components, mobile computing, large and complex distributed systems of systems and the Internet have permanently altered the testing landscape.
As the industry changes the way it does business, we will need to adjust our approaches as well. Come see what is happening, both in the lab and in the industry. Hope to see you at our forthcoming Conference.
