When and where is it on?

EuroSTAR 2020 Online takes place 17-19 November. See the full details on www.eurostarsoftwaretesting.com

It will be on the Hopin platform. Described as Programme Chair, Rik Marselis as ‘the best online conference platform I’ve experienced’. EuroSTAR attendees will be able to video chat and connect with a global testing community.

How many years has it been going?

28 Years – EuroSTAR is Europe’s largest and longest running software testing event.

What was the inspiration to start it?

The European testing community was in need of collaborative platform. They had no way to connect with the wider community, to share ideas and collectively problem solve which benefits the industry as a whole. EuroSTAR was created to develop a community within the European testing industry. The very ethos of EuroSTAR is to help testers, quality assurance engineers, managers and consultants to collaboratively work together, share knowledge and fulfil their greatest professional potential.

What exciting things can people look forward to?

There are 6 keynote speakers; Jason Arbon shares real-world examples demonstrating the limitations and pain of some AI approaches. Michael Bolton will help you ask those tough questions in testing. Join Abby Bangser for examples and explanations on leveraging the dynamic duo of observability and testing in production.

Find out more about common testing challenges while moving to cloud-based, microservice architecture with Tomasz Dubikowski. Learn how to develop a quality narrative that communicates the true value of your quality team throughout the company with Ronald Cummings-John.

A whopping 9 half day training tutorials to choose from including Fran O’Hara delves into agile, Fiona Charles shares powerful test techniques, Alan Richardson (EvilTester) gets technical on web applications, and lots, lots more. EuroSTAR attendees will gain actionable tactics to improve their work and re-energise testing projects.

On Wednesday and Thursday there’ll also be 3 stages of track talks on agile, DevOps, automation, functional testing, quality improvement, and lots more. You can see the full programme for more details.

EuroSTAR 2020 Online will welcome the global testing community and you can (virtually) bump fists with like-minded peers over the 3 days. This is where you forget about the daily grind and start thinking creatively.

What opportunities are on offer for those attending?

EuroSTAR has talks for all levels of tester and all disciplines. There is a wide range of topics being explored for both new and experienced testers, along with software developers in test, quality assurance professionals, team leads and management.
