Conference Programme 2009<br />
28 - 29 October 2009<br />
Melbourne, Australia
Introduction<br />
Are you interested in conferences about Software Quality Management and Testing?<br />
Do you want to listen to specialist speakers involved in real projects?<br />
At Software & Systems Quality Conferences real life experience is the key. Seven annual conferences are the meeting place for<br />
the Testing and Quality community where speakers speak about their practical experience and well known keynote speakers<br />
present industry trends. They are pointing the way for the Software Quality of the future.<br />
High level, very practical, best of breed, and interesting presentations will be given by leaders from different business areas<br />
as well as from the academic scene. You can also use this respected exchange forum by joining or extending your network for<br />
quality management and testing. Talking to other delegates, learning from experiences of the presenters, being able to talk to<br />
important tool vendors and service suppliers in the exhibition will give you the chance to update on the latest level of methodology,<br />
technology, procedures, benefits, costs, etc. in a very short time: Spend one or two days to be at least two steps ahead.<br />
Four keynote presentations from invited experts will give a framework to this two-day event. The presentations are split into<br />
two parallel tracks: one on Software Quality Management and the other on Software Testing. Parallel to these presentations<br />
will be a separate exhibitor’s track giving you an opportunity to get an overview about the offerings of the leading tool vendors<br />
and service suppliers.<br />

Keynotes<br />
SYNONYM – Building Secure Global Test Environments with a<br />
Synthetic Business Simulation<br />
Why do we Invest in Quality?<br />
Robin Heizmann<br />
Credit Suisse (CH)<br />
Rob Oshlack<br />
Nicstar Global (AU)<br />
In 2006 Credit Suisse Private Bank IT decided to build new secure data centres for offshore/global SW<br />
development and testing (that are detached from existing CS data centres and intranet) through program<br />
SYNONYM. In order to enable global SW development and testing that is compliant to national legislation<br />
and IT risk and legal regulations (Swiss Banking Secrecy), program SYNONYM established a highly secure<br />
development zone and introduced purely synthetic test data, based on the so called “Virtual Bank” concept<br />
for simulation of real bank business.<br />
The presentation highlights:<br />
motivation and handling of legal requirements for this initiative<br />
today’s solution and procedure to get there<br />
aspects of the “Virtual Bank” with synthetic data generation<br />
challenges for both the SYNONYM program team and the SW development and testing community<br />
plans for future enhancements towards virtualized multi-environment-, next-generation SW-Engineering<br />
Why do we Invest in Quality will take a pragmatic look at how projects and initiatives are really created,<br />
targets the real value of understanding quality and will offer up tasty opportunities that still exist around<br />
ICT delivery.<br />
As many initiatives are managed and delivered via a project methodology mixed amongst various degrees<br />
of organisational maturity, the question is: Who actually influences the “right“ level of quality with the “right“<br />
components and approach? The Test Managers that don’t understand Project Management or Project<br />
Managers that don’t understand Testing....<br />
Keynotes<br />
Testing 2009: Update on the Survey 2009 with Actual Data<br />
from Australia<br />
Interactive Session<br />
Trends in Testing and Quality Management – With Respect to the Current Economic Climate<br />
Dr Kelvin Ross<br />
Rudolf van Megen<br />
K. J. Ross & Associates (AU) SQS (D)<br />
In this interactive presentation, Kelvin an Rudolf will give an update on the latest results from the Survey<br />
2009 with actual data from Australia and contrast software testing and quality trends in Europe to that<br />
in Australia. The Survey 2009 is based on the survey that Pierre Audoin Consultants (PAC), a market<br />
research organisation, has conducted in 2008 on behalf of SQS. For this latest study, there will be an<br />
online survey done in Q3/2009 and the results are especially selectable for Australia. This study provides<br />
a representative view of the testing market in Europe and reviewed issues such as sourcing resources, QA<br />
organisation, training, utilisation of tools, industrialisation and professionalization.<br />
Does the current economic climate influence the demand for Testing and Quality Management? Are the<br />
CIOs more risk aware than before or do they try to save some money short term with not testing? Are<br />
the business leaders suspending the investment into products with less Testing and Quality Management<br />
or do they invest even more to become competitive? From the supplier point of view, will there be more<br />
SaaS deals than selling licenses for testing tools? How does the current climate influence the trend for<br />
outsourcing: push it to save cost or delay it to avoid the risk (because we all know that a percentage of<br />
the outsourcing deals are cancelled before deadline)?<br />
Fundamental questions, invited panel members will give an answer to. We are having executives from the<br />
before mentioned areas at the panel. Trends and approaches will be examined.<br />
