Performance Conference 2006

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™. STPCon will be held from Nov. 1-3, 2005, in New
York City.
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.
