GTAC 2008 in Seattle

Before the end of our last Google Test Automation Conference in August 2007, we were already getting questions from participants and blog readers wondering about the next conference. Now we can tell you when and where that will happen (drum roll please)... the 2008 Test Automation Conference will be held October 23 and 24 in Seattle. More details will be coming shortly...

As with previous years, the focus of the conference will be solving software engineering challenges using tools and automation, with special focus on SaaS. Engineers in the testing world are frequently so busy shipping software that they do not take the time to share the technical details of the work they are doing, the approaches that are working, and the lessons they have learned. There will be a call for proposals in late April.

As has been the precedent in previous years, our conference is for active and vocal participation, not quiet attendance. GTAC is a place to share great ideas and to get challenged. As we have done previously, attendants will apply by proposing what they will bring to the conference and how they can further the discussions. Applications for attendance will be opened in late June.

We are hard at work developing the conference. Please send suggestions, questions and recommendations to: gtac@google.com or post your comments here to the blog.
