T.E.S.T Focus Groups
The TEST Focus Groups is a complimentary event specially designed and targeted at senior software testers, testing managers, QA & project managers, who wish to discuss and 
debate some of their most pressing challenges in a well thought out yet informal setting.
TEST Magazine, the TEST Focus Groups sister product, spends a lot of time spends a lot of time speaking and listening to its customers and then seeking out innovative ways to meet their needs. It has become apparent that senior decision makers wish to discuss their current challenges in a meaningful and structured manner with a view to finding pragmatic and workable solutions to what are invariably complex issues. Suppliers, who are naturally keen to meet these professionals want to gain a clearer understanding of these challenges and identify how, through meaningful dialogue, they can assist.
This logic coupled with TEST Magazine’s consistent desire to drive the market forward lead us to launch the TEST Focus Groups for 2011!
Due to the demands put on modern managers and the subsequent limited opportunities available to join together and voice opinions – the challenges consistently faced by today’s army of testers and testing management tend not to get resolved as quickly as enterprise would like. As a market-leading publisher and events business the organiser understands there should be a format that empowers meaningful debates to assist managers & directors overcome their issues. The TEST Focus Groups therefore provides ten specially designed syndicate rooms, each containing a specialist subject for delegates to discuss and debate the matter in hand with a view to finding pragmatic and workable solutions.
With some of the industry’s leading minds on hand to help facilitate and steer each session the TEST Focus Groups will quickly become a ‘must-attend’ event for anyone serious about software testing & QA. Add to this there are plenty of networking opportunities available in addition to a small exhibition, and each delegate is provided a fabulous opportunity to interact with their peers, source the latest products and services, and develop meaningful relationships in an informal yet professional setting.
Subjects to be debated are:
People or Technology – Who Gets the Cash?
The Value of Testing Requirements

Crowd Testing
Outsourcing
Qualifications, Accreditation, & Exams
