Call for Papers and Presentations

PSQT/PSTT 2002 South
New Orleans, Louisiana

March 4-8, 2002

International Conference on
Practical Software Quality Techniques
&
International Conference on
Practical Software Testing Techniques

PSQT/PSTT Conferences have enjoyed phenomenal growth over the last five years. In addition, the interest in testing technology as means to improve the quality of software has dramatically increased because of the new challenges that face the software testing community.

In response to this growth and success, we decided to dedicate a full conference program to Practical Software Testing Techniques (PSTT) in addition to our regular conference on Practical Software Quality Techniques (PSQT). To maximize benefits to software testing and quality professionals, the two conferences will be held concurrently at the same time and place. We believe that as we continue to focus only on "Practical" techniques, PSTT and PSQT conferences it will continue to help organizations and professionals around the world in Solving the Software Quality Puzzle.

Proposals for papers and/or presentations reflecting real experiences with practical software quality techniques or practical software testing technique are invited for both conferences. We would like to hear from you if you have expertise or experiences in any software quality or testing technique or tool. This is a great opportunity to share your experience with other software professionals and get their feedback in this practice-oriented conference.

Proposals for full day tutorials are also invited.  Click here for Tutorial Submission guidelines.
