GREENSBORO, N.C. & STAMFORD, Conn. --(Business Wire)-- April 18, 2006 -- Questcon Technologies, a leading provider of innovative software Quality Assurance (QA) and process improvement solutions and a division of Howard Systems International, Inc. (HSI), today announced company experts will present at three leading software development industry conferences. Questcon's Shaun Bradshaw, director of quality solutions, and David Dang, senior practice manager, will present at the Quality Assurance Institute's (QAI) 26th Annual Quality Conference, Practical Software Quality and Testing Conference (PSQT) and Software Quality Engineering's Software Testing Analysis & Review (STAREAST) show.
A recognized industry expert on test metrics, Bradshaw will present on May 2 at PSQT how firms can identify, institute and properly track test metrics to provide management with tangible evidence of how enhanced software quality affects the bottom line. He will also lend his expertise on April 26 at QAI's 26th Annual Quality Conference and on May 17 at STAREAST to provide an overview of how to generate and use techniques such as the S-Curve and Zero Bug Bounce graphs to improve an organization's ability to manage and track current test efforts as well as future development efforts. Dang takes center stage on May 2 at PSQT to help organizations plan for test automation. He will touch on moving from manual to automated testing, identifying changes to test methodology to support automation and establishing the best automation strategy to fit an organization's technical, methodological and cultural environment.
Magdy Hanna, Phd., PSQT Program Chair and Chairman and CEO of the International Institute for Software Testing, commented, "PSQT provides the opportunity for industry experts and leaders to share their knowledge and experiences with attendees. This year's program is packed with presentations offering real world guidance from experts like Shaun and David who are in the field and actively performing and developing testing techniques and improving software quality."
