QUALITY WEEK '96 CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

CONFERENCE THEME: QUALITY PROCESS CONVERGENCE

Advances in technology have swept the computing industry to new heights of innovation. The astonishing growth of the InterNet and the WWW, the maturation of client-server technology, and the emerging developments with C++ and Sun's Java Language (tm) are two illustrations of the rapid deployment we are seeing the 1990s. For software quality to keep track existing methods, approaches and tools have to be thought of in well-structured ``process models'' that apply quality control and test methods in a reasoned, practical way. Quality Process Convergence -- making sure that applied quality techniques produce real results at acceptable costs -- is the key to success.

The Ninth International Software Quality Week focuses on software testing, analysis, evaluation and review methods that support and enable process thinking. Quality Week '96 brings the best quality industry thinkers and practitioners together to help you keep the competitive edge.
