Software Testing Sustainability as a Key Topic at QA&TEST

QA&TEST 2024

Software Testing Sustainability

The 23rd edition of QA&TEST Embedded, the international conference on testing and software quality in embedded systems, will once again spotlight the sustainability of software testing.

This event, scheduled for October 9-11, 2024, at the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao, will bring together experts and industry professionals to address current challenges in the field of testing.

The growing complexity of embedded systems and the need to ensure their quality and security have led the industry to rethink testing practices from a sustainability perspective. This approach aims to balance the thoroughness of tests with efficient use of resources and time, without compromising the quality of the final product.

Among the topics to be addressed at the conference, strategies will be discussed for:

  1. Optimizing testing processes to reduce energy and resource consumption.
  2. Implementing automation techniques that enable more efficient and scalable testing.
  3. Developing testing methodologies that adapt to increasingly shorter product lifecycles.
  4. Integrating sustainability considerations into the early stages of software design.

Sustainability in testing refers not only to environmental aspects but also to the long-term viability of testing practices in a constantly evolving technological environment. Experts argue that a sustainable approach to testing can lead to more robust products, requiring less maintenance and frequent updates, which in turn reduces environmental impact and operational costs.

QA&TEST Embedded has established itself as a crucial forum for the industry, where the latest innovations and best practices in the field of embedded systems testing are shared. The inclusion of sustainability as a central theme reflects the growing awareness in the sector about the importance of developing software that is not only functional and secure but also sustainable in the long term.

SQS, the company organizing the event, hopes that this focus on sustainability will inspire new ideas and solutions that can be applied across various sectors, from automotive and aeronautics to medicine and telecommunications, thereby improving the quality and durability of embedded systems in our daily lives.
