STeP-IN SUMMIT 2006 – The third annual International Conference on Software Testing, organized by the STeP-IN Forum, and hosted by QSIT was a tremendous success. The conference this year received an overwhelming response; with a total of over 1150 delegates attending sessions spread over four days (18 – 21 January, ’06). 

‘Careers in Software Testing’ was aptly chosen as the theme for this conference by the Conference Advisory Committee in the present scenario of growing demand for Test Professionals. The Technical Committee ensured that only relevant topics for Tutorials, Plenary Sessions, and the Panel Discussion were included in the conference to add value to business through sharing of knowledge.
