Test-Driven Development
Join us at an upcoming Portland event on Monday, March 16 at 6PM, with guest speaker James Shore .

An invited speaker for PNSQC 2019, James is an agile technical coach with a focus on real-world engineering. He is co-founder with Diana Larsen of the Agile Fluency Project.  

James will present "Secrets of Test-Driven Development" — diving into what it is, how it works, and why it works. This introductory session covers why TDD is important and how this technical practice allows us to effectively maintain a constantly changing code base.

This event will be hosted by PDX Veterans in Technology with networking and food sponsored by PNSQC.

Clarifying Your Vision for Quality
The PNSQC 2020 Program Committee is sharing their Wish List of conference topics that they hope prospective speakers will cover in their submissions.

PNSQC Appreciation
“I am a manager and I was looking for things that would help me build a better team and build a culture of quality at my own organization and I feel like I successfully did that. I thought the speakers were fantastic, the invited keynotes were just really engaging and great.”
