ABOUT SOFTEC2010
SOFTWARE TESTING CONFERENCE
The Malaysian Software Testing Conference 2010 (SOFTEC2010) is becoming one of the foremost testing events in the region as the
conference enters its third year. Since the inaugural SOFTEC in 2008, the conference has succeeded in bringing together renowned
international speakers from the international quality community thus offering participants the latest in software testing.
SOFTEC2010 will continue to bring speakers who are industry experts and influential academician who are authorities in software
testing. The organizer, MSTB, continues to enhance the conference content and depth to ensure that IT professionals, academia,
students and business managers stand to gain knowledge, insights and shared experiences at SOFTEC2010.
SOFTEC is organized by the Malaysian Software Testing Board and is supported by the Government of Malaysia through the
Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovations, the Economic Planning Unit, Prime Minister’s Department, the Malaysian
Administrative Modernization and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU) and SIRIM Berhad.
The theme Bridging the Gap aspires to explore the discoveries and advancements in the software testing industry, and facilitate
stakeholders of the profession to leverage on the advancements in software testing to define the development pathway for
professionals and service providers, towards confirming Malaysia’s position as the Testing Hub in the region. IT professionals in the
industry, government and academia will benefit greatly from SOFTEC2010 itself.
Software testing being a cognitively complex technical activity that combines area of knowledge and techniques, skills, processes,
good resources, technology, governance and leadership; and the nurtured experience towards ensuring software quality that has
become a key factor for the success of products / services and organization.
Professionals, practitioners, decision makers and even policy makers would want to be able to identify their collective and
individual roles in minding that gap which existed in every organizations that give top priority to quality in every sense of the
