Sogeti UK, a leading provider of professional technology services specialising in software testing, and UNICOM, a global conference and training company, announce the return of the UK's largest and most renowned software testing event on 22 October 2015, for what will be the 31st TestExpo™.
Last year's hugely successful TestExpo conference was the second to be jointly hosted by Sogeti and UNICOM and has sparked a strong partnership between the two businesses. They will play to their strengths to produce an extremely high standard event.
Each year the TestExpo programme is updated and refreshed with exciting new themes and topics that impact today's business. For 2015 the key theme addressed will be "We have a Testing Dream". This topic will aim to address if cost and resources were no issue, what changes would you like to make to practices in the testing industry.
In 2013 and 2014 a number of new features were introduced to the TestExpo programme, such as increased opportunities to network, share tips, and facilitated round table discussions which received excellent feedback from the audience. All are to be repeated in 2015 alongside the usual thought-provoking keynotes, case studies and presentations delivered by thought leaders and experts from leading organisations in the software testing arena.
Our hosts for the event Barry Weston and Gary Moore are a duo with over 50 years testing experience between them. They have each managed some of the UK's largest testing contracts driving innovation as a priority. Barry Weston was awarded the Testing Innovator of the year at the 2013 European tester of the year for the delivery of Process Improvement, Shift Left, and Test Transformation - an outcome-focused model based on KPI's and SLA's that revolutionises the delivery of testing. Our hosts will be joined on the day by industry leading keynote speakers, discussing there own experiences and testing expertise.
We are pleased to announce our first five confirmed speakers for the event: -
