Call for Papers - Free Test 2010




In times with increasingly complex software systems and with growing expectations regarding the quality of systems implemented, high demands are put on testing.
As a tester, one of the responses to meet the customers’ expectations may be to increase the use of testing tools. Unfortunately, introducing tools as part of the testing activities is a risky business that not always succeeds. The first challenge is finding the right tool. Then we face the challenges of introducing it and using it in the right way – both are crucial if we want the tool to be a success.
This conference wishes to set focus on these challenges in the context of free testing tools. We encourage you to participate with a presentation within this area.
Practical information:
There will be three kinds of presentations allowed: Regular technical presentations of either 20 or 45 minutes’ length, and so-called “short presentations”, instructions on which are given here
