Background

During the software development lifecycle errors occur and defects are inevitably introduced. Most organisations are aware of the importance of testing within the software development life-cycle in order to detect and remove these defects. Research has shown that the test process frequently accounts for 40% of the cost of software development. With the growing requirement for high quality and efficiency, it is becoming increasingly important for organisations to improve their software testing. Who should attend?
