Huntington, N.Y., November 15, 2005 - BZ Media LLC today announced that the second annual Software Test & Performance Conference was a spectacular success at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. The conference, held Nov. 1-3, 2005, drew attendees from 12 countries and 36 states, demonstrating the global appeal of the conference, and BZ Media's global reach into the software development industry.
With more than 300 professionals paying to attend the sold-out three-day technical classes and tutorials, in addition to more than 200 exhibits-only registrants, the second Software Test & Performance Conference was 68 percent larger than the debut conference held in December 2004. Thirty-six percent of attendees had Developer titles, 25 percent were Test and Quality Assurance professionals, 22 percent were Test and QA Managers, and 18 percent held corporate and Independent Software Vendor titles.
The technical sessions at Software Test & Performance Conference 2005 were filled to capacity, with more than 60 classes and tutorials over three days. The event also had three keynote presentations, as well as the presentation of the debut TESTERS CHOICE awards from Software Test & Performance Magazine.
The Software Test & Performance Conference also drew 20 booths, including diamond sponsor Software Quality Solutions; platinum sponsors AppLabs, Segue, Solstice and Worksoft; and gold sponsors Empirix, LogiGear, Parasoft, Software Development Technology and Software Quality Associates (SQA).
Ted Bahr, President of BZ Media, said, "The sell-out crowd demonstrates that the Software Test & Performance Conference is gaining momentum due to our emphasis on testing and performance issues from a developer and application life-cycle management perspective. Software development and Test/QA managers and professionals were attracted because this conference takes the broader view of software quality."
Next year's Software Test & Performance Conference will be held November 7-9, 2006, at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge, close to historic Kendall Square, Harvard University, Boston University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and near to downtown Boston.
