New languages, new networks, new versions of operating systems have all provided new and enhanced capabilities for users of information technology. Expectations for speed of delivery of services and for software quality have risen substantially. Testers are still faced with the challenge of supporting the delivery of software with a minimum of defects in the shortest possible time. Can we continue to apply proven testing concepts in this rapidly changing technological environment? Join us and share your ideas and experiences while you learn from others. I look forward to seeing you there.
