Some of the most difficult challenges in creating great software are guaranteeing it works every time, for every customer, ensuring that it will scale well, and making it accessible to all users. Over the years, languages have become easier to work with, frameworks have become extensible for the creation of several products, and integrated development environments have made the software developer faster and more productive. But automation techniques, extensible testing frameworks, and easy-to-use test tools have lagged behind. While there are many good solutions for automated testing, there is plenty of room for innovation.I'm happy to announce that Google will be hosting our 2nd Annual Google Test Automation Conference (GTAC) in our New York office on August 23 and 24, 2007. Our goal is to create a collegial atmosphere where participants can discuss challenges facing people on the cutting edge of test automation, evaluate solutions for meeting those challenges, and have a little fun.
Call for Proposals
We're looking for speakers with exciting ideas and new approaches to test automation. If you have a subject you'd like to talk about, please send an email to gtac-submission@google.com and include a description of your 45 minute session in 500 words or less (no attachments, please). Deadline for submissions is April 6.
We're planning to have 10 people give presentations at the conference, followed by adequate time for discussion. If you'd like to attend as a non-speaker, please check back to this page on May 7, when we'll post our slate of speakers and information about how to attend. Permalink | Links to this post |

Hi Allen,
What happened to London?
We decided on New York this time to expand the audience and allow more voices into the process. Instead of doing the conference in the same place every year, we are planning to use a different Google Engineering office for each conference. This gives us the opportunity to hear from people who wouldn't normally be able to travel to a conference in any single place. We'll be getting feedback from the community this year on where the conference should be in 2008.
Thanks Allen. I understand, that is a very democratic way of running it. I was just selfishly hoping it would stay close to home. (Feel free to consider that my bid for the 2008 Olympics of testing.)
Unit Testing is so important.. Hope I can get to NYNY..

great news :) how can someone attend? any information please?
Can anybody describe the "1st annual" conference? I'd like to be able to look at a previous program and get an idea of how to phrase my proposal for a presentation.
Absolutely! The presentations from the conference are all online. Go to Google Video and search for "Google Test.Automation.Conference".
Cheers,
Harry
In addition to videos of the presenters, can we download the actual presentation materials?
The presentation materials from the 1st conference can be found here.
Is this like a normal conference where everyone pays their own expenses? I'm in an european academic org and have some new results I'd like to share but I'm not sure they consider it "researchy" enough for me to attend.
Google will be paying the majority of expenses for speakers (hotel and flight).
I submitted a proposal yesterday (GMT+1 - it's still 6th April somewhere in parts of the US) but didn't get a acknowledgement of receival. Is there some way of knowing it properly arrived?
best & thanks, holger
I'd like to attend the conference -- how can I sign up?
Thanks,
It is May 11th. Any word on where in NYC the con will be held?
I'm anxiously awaiting this information as well...
Yes... I loved last years, and I'm looking forward to coming again without crossing an ocean to do it... where, and how to enroll? Besides, there's got to be new toilet testing guides by now.
Any updates?
I would like to attend the conference, any updates about how to?
You can now learn more about the speakers and sign up to attend here.
Hi GTAC Aficionados,
GTAC 2007 has gotten off to a great start and we are pleased to let you know the videos have already begun being posted. You can find them at the following YouTube Play List: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=7D3E685B59779C16
Enjoy!

Will there be a 3rd Google Test Automation Conference held in 2008? If so, when and where will it be held?
Hi Friends,
I am a participant of GTAC - 2007 at New York.
This year it is supposed to be held in Hyderabad, India as per Allen's concluding talks last year during the conference.
But I did not see any more information on that, even after sending direct emails to Amy Gepreft at Google.
Please let me know information on when the submissions for presentation papers are going to start and also for the registration.
Hey, do you know about the Software Test & Performance Conference? It Apr. 15-17 at the San Mateo (CA) Marriott, www.stpcon.com. Exhibit registration is free.

希望大家都會非常非常幸福~
「朵朵小語‧優美的眷戀在這個世界上，最重要的一件事，就是好好愛自己。好好愛自己，你的眼睛才能看見天空的美麗，耳朵才能聽見山水的清音。好好愛自己，你才能體會所有美好的東西，所有的文字與音符才能像清泉一樣注入你的心靈。好好愛自己，你才有愛人的能力，也才有讓別人愛上你的魅力。而愛自己的第一步，就是切斷讓自己覺得黏膩的過去，以無沾無滯的輕快心情，大步走向前去。愛自己的第二步，則是隨時保持孩子般的好奇，願意接受未知的指引；也隨時可以拋卻不再需要的行囊，一路雲淡風輕。親愛的，你是天地之間獨一無二的旅人，在陽光與月光的交替之中瀟灑獨行.............................................................................................................有時，你覺得痛。胃痛的時候，接受它，承認這個疼痛是你的身體的一部份，與它和平共處。心痛的時候，接受它，承認這個經驗是你的生命的一部份，與它和平共處。抗拒痛的存在，只會讓它更要證明它的存在，於是你就更痛。所以，.無論你有多麼不喜歡痛的感覺，還是要接納這個痛的事實。與你的痛站在同一邊，不逃避，不閃躲，不再與你的痛爭執，如此，你的痛才會漸漸不再胡鬧，才會乖乖平息下去。.................心願-你許下了一個心願，你閉上眼睛，在冥想之中把這個心願交託宙給宇整個讓宇宙推動它全部的力.量去執行.，你看見星球與星球的引力牽繫著彼此，你聽見虛空與虛空.唱裡著和妙美的聲音，為了你的心願，整個宇宙正在相互傳遞，然後你放下了心願，不僅是放下，最好你還把你的心願忘記，唯有如此，它才能脫離你，發展它自己，
當它在宇宙的遊歷結束之後，它自然會來到你身邊，以你曾經希望的方式回應你，許下，只是讓它發生，放下，才是讓>它實現，你的心願使你懂得不能執著的奧秘...................
