MISSION AND GOAL

The mission of the QWE'97 Conference is to increase awareness of the
importance of Software Quality and the methods used to achieve it.  It
seeks to promote Software Quality by providing technological education
and opportunities for information exchange within the software
community.

QWE'97 has one main goal: To create an ongoing, publicly accessible
platform where researchers and Quality Assurance and Software Test
Professionals, as well as users at every level, can communicate and
exchange experience and technology.

The success of the Quality Week Conferences is due to the unusual
approach of creating an ongoing, publicly accessible platform where
researchers and Quality Assurance and Software Test Professionals, as
well as users at every level, can communicate and exchange experience
and technology.  Over the past ten years, Quality Week has offered high
caliber programs that consistently deaws the finest industry and
academic speakers.  Our mission is to provide a quality educational
conference without any product marketing pitches.

QWE'97 OFFERS:

The QWE'97 program consists of four days of 1-day and 1/2-day tutorials,
technical papers and workshops that focus on software test automation
and new technology. QWE'97 provides the Software Testing and QA/QC
community with:

*   Quality Assurance and Test involvement in the development process
*   Exchange of experience-based information among technologists
*   State-of-the-art information on software quality test methods
*   Analysis of effectiveness through case studies
*   Vendor Technical/Demo Presentations
*   Vendor Show & Exhibits

CONFERENCE THEME

The QWE'97 theme, Quality for the Millenium, will focus attention not
only on the year 2000 problem, but also on such important changes as the
Internet, Electronic Commerce, Client/Server and OO testing, and related
software quality areas.
