Huntington, N.Y., July 25, 2005 - BZ Media LLC today announced that Martin Fowler, Chief Scientist of ThoughtWorks and Adam Kolawa, Co-Founder and CEO of Parasoft Corp., will be the featured keynote speakers at the Software Test & Performance Conference™.

Lindsey Vereen, conference chairman of the Software Test & Performance Conference said, "We are honored to have such esteemed keynote presenters. Their work is on the cutting edge of today's tools and methodologies. Through their innovations and insights they have much to share with software developers and test/QA professionals about how to eliminate application defects, shorten time-to-market and improve software quality."
Martin Fowler is the Chief Scientist for ThoughtWorks and is a renowned author, software consultant and speaker, bringing more than 14 years of experience in helping corporations utilize object technology for mission-critical information systems. Mr. Fowler has helped pioneer the practical use of some of the industry’s leading development techniques, including UML (Unified Modeling Language), eXtreme Programming, and Refactoring and Analysis Patterns. He is a founder of the Agile Alliance and co-author of the Agile Manifesto.
Adam Kolawa, Parasoft co-founder and CEO, is considered to be a visionary in his field. Dr. Kolawa's years of experience with various software development processes has resulted in his unique insight into the high-tech industry and the uncanny ability to successfully identify technology trends. As a result, he has orchestrated the development of numerous successful commercial software products to meet growing industry needs to improve software quality - often before the trends have been widely accepted. Dr. Kolawa has been granted ten patents for the technologies behind Parasoft's products.
At the Software Test & Performance Conference, more than 60 classes and full-day tutorials cover software test/QA and performance issues across the entire application life cycle, making this event appeal to a higher-level and more diverse group of development and test/QA professionals than traditional training programs for test-team members.
For 2005, the three-day conference will be held at the world-famous Roosevelt Hotel, a prominent landmark situated on Madison Ave. and 45th St. in midtown New York City.
