QA&TEST Embedded 2025 – Bilbao, 22 · 23 · 24 October.

Welcome to the 24th edition of QA&TEST Embedded, the leading international conference on testing and software quality for embedded systems!

Organized by SQS (Software Quality Systems), QA&TEST has established itself as the essential event for industry professionals and experts. After more than two decades, we continue to innovate and offer a unique experience that combines cutting-edge knowledge with high-quality technical presentations, extensive networking opportunities, and, of course, the charm of Bilbao, which hosts us every year.

Cutting-Edge Topics

In each edition of QA&TEST Embedded, we address a wide range of topics carefully selected for their relevance and timeliness. The support of our International Technical Committee of Experts  allows us to offer a high-level programme that reflects the latest trends and challenges in testing and software quality for embedded systems, including technological innovations and emerging methodologies. Some of the topics that form this year’s programme  are:

  • Test automation: Strategies and tools to optimize the testing process and improve efficiency.
  • Testing in critical environments: Approaches to ensure quality and safety in embedded systems used in sectors such as automotive, medical, and aerospace.
  • Model-Based Testing (MBT)
  • Artificial Intelligence and its impact on embedded systems testing
  • Validation and Verification: Strategies and techniques to ensure software quality and reliability throughout its development cycle.

And, of course, we cannot overlook such a crucial topic as sustainability, which also has a significant impact in the field of testing. In the past edition, we paid special attention to how testing practices can contribute to creating more efficient and environmentally friendly embedded systems. We explored strategies to optimize energy consumption in testing processes, techniques to evaluate and improve the energy efficiency of embedded systems, and methodologies to integrate sustainability considerations throughout the software development and testing lifecycle. All this content was presented by top-level international speakers who, representing various industries such as aerospace, medical, or automotive among others, shared their valuable experiences and knowledge in these areas, ensuring that each session is full of relevant and, above all, applicable information to current challenges in the world of testing and software quality.

Networking and Professional Opportunities

At QA&TEST, we firmly believe that learning goes beyond formal sessions. That’s why we have designed social activities that foster networking and create opportunities for lasting professional contact. These activities will allow you to:

  • Exchange ideas with industry experts
  • Resolve any doubts that may have arisen during the presentations
  • Establish valuable connections with professionals from around the world
  • Explore potential future collaborations and job opportunities

Discover Bilbao

We not only intend for you to return from QA&TEST with a suitcase full of cutting-edge knowledge, but we also want to offer you the opportunity to delight your palate and your senses in the incredible city of Bilbao.

Bilbao is not only known for its vibrant culture and gastronomy, but it also stands out as an important industrial and technical center in Spain. The city has historically been a pillar of Basque industry, with a rich heritage that includes steel, metallurgy, and machinery manufacturing. In recent decades, the region has evolved into a diversified industrial ecosystem, hosting numerous technology-based and R&D companies that are at the forefront of innovation spanning sectors such as automotive, electronics, and biotechnology.

 

We look forward to seeing you at QA&TEST! 

Organiser

SQS, Software Quality Systems, organises QA&TEST since the very beginning in 2001. SQS, as the leading provider of software quality consultancy and testing services, has witnessed how their customers improve the quality of their software developments while dramatically reducing the costs of correcting bugs and maintenance.
Aware of the need for training in the sector, SQS began the search for a new way to share their training experience and, in 2001, QA&TEST was born. The success of the conference is a pride for SQS, consolidated as an ideal platform to exchange knowledge of testing and supported by a large community of experts that has been forged over the years.
