Sponsored Post: Software testing experts at Softec Asia 2015THE annual Software Testing Conference (Softec) Asia, organised by the Malaysian Software Testing Board (MSTB), will be held from Sept 8-10 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
 
Entering its eighth edition, the conference offers a platform to further strengthen Malaysia’s position in the global software testing market, while encouraging collaboration and cooperation amongst industry stakeholders.
 
Softec Asia is also an avenue to raise the standards in software quality assurance (SQA) and promote software testing as a business.
 
Believed to be the biggest English-medium software testing conference in the region, Softec Asia 2015 has as its theme Spearheading the Business of Testing, reflecting a broadened scope of discourse compared to previous Softec events.
 
This time around, the conference will also cover business facets of software testing, in addition to the technology, skills and technical aspects of the discipline.
 
Here are some of the speakers MSTB will welcome in September for Softec Asia 2015.
