EuroSTAR Conference explained

The EuroSTAR Conference is the largest gathering of European software testing professionals. The 2024 EuroSTAR Software Testing Conference will take place at Stockholmsmässan, Sweden, 11-14 June 2024.

History of EuroSTAR Software Testing

The first EuroSTAR conference took place in London in October 1993 as a sister conference of (US-based) STAR Conferences organised by William C. Hetzel and Gelperin in conjunction with the British Computer Society.[1]

EuroSTAR stands for European Software Testing Analysis & Review.

EuroSTAR is the longest running and largest European software testing and quality assurance conference that takes place in a different European city each year.

Other

The annual conference has been the origin of many milestones in the history of software testing including the introduction of the W-Model by Paul Herzlich in 1993,[2] the foundation of Dutch Special Interest Group in Software Testing (SIGIST) TestNet at EuroSTAR 1996 [3] and the foundation of the Test Lab (2009) which has since become a focal point at many international conferences on software testing. Proceedings at EuroSTAR have been cited in many publications on software testing[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] and the conference is regularly featured on international software testing conference lists and IT journals.[12] [13] [14]

EuroSTAR Testing Excellence Award

The EuroSTAR European Testing Excellence Award has been awarded at the annual EuroSTAR Conference since 1998.[15] The award seeks to recognise significant contributions to the field of software testing in Europe. Gerald Weinberg.[16] is a past winner of the award.
