Spotlighting Keynotes for PNSQC 2020
The PNSQC Program Committee has been busy notifying this year’s accepted technical paper presenters, and wanted to give you a sneak peak of the 2020 line-up. 

Proposal topics spanned from the traditional categories of Tools, Automation, People, and Processes, to more topical and timely subjects of COVID-19 and diversity in tech, plus AI, Agile testing, and cutting-edge QA. 

Among the 25 papers to be presented, 4 keynote presenters will be beginning and closing both days of the technical part of the conference. They will be presenting on:

  • “Rethinking Test Automation” 
  • “The Coming Tester Apocalypse: You must UN-LEARN what you have LEARNED!”
  • “Breaking Down Biases and Building Inclusive AI”
  • “Test Engineers are the Connectors of Our Teams”

Find out who the Keynotes will be, and check out their bios in our presentation topics blog post. 

And be sure to get your ticket to PNSQC 2020. Registration opens mid-July .
Sponsorship Opportunities Abound
PNSQC is a nonprofit organization that focuses on community learning. This is just one of many things that sets the annual event apart from commercial conferences. 

Volunteer organizers work with industry vendors to provide additional value to the conference, without becoming an advertisement for specific tools or services. 

We’re currently looking for sponsors for the 2020 conference, and recently updated the sponsorship opportunities we offer. There are new sponsorship levels and a la carte items , including the addition of a Diversity Scholarship. 

We have also added to the Exhibitor, Friends, Gold, Silver and Platinum sponsorship packages . Check out the options for a virtual demo room, and see how sponsors can get involved in the conference. 

If you have questions please email Robert Anderson (Robert_Anderson@pnsqc.org) or use our contact form for more information.
Dive Into Agile Test Strategies
Recently, PNSQC board member Moss Drake attended XP 2020, an online agile conference. One of the highlights was a workshop on using agile collaboration methods to deep dive into test strategies. 

For Moss, there were some unexpected “aha” moments, as well as some valuable takeaways. 

Read about his discoveries, and see how to apply them to your agile testing.
PNSQC Appreciation
“The conference was a great opportunity to meet so many people and learn about all the different testing philosophies and phases of testing that they brought to the conference. I would happily come back, as a presenter, volunteer, or moderator.”
