PROGRAMME COMMITTEE

We believe it is important to allow our speakers as much freedom as possible in choosing their topics. With this in mind, in order to ensure the independent character of the conference, the program of Testing United 2023 will be selected by 4 distinguished members of testing community.

They will evaluate the speaking proposals based on this year’s topic “2023: Tester’s place in Universe, Metaverse & Beyond”. How does this world’s transformation accelerates implementation of technologies and philosophical approaches?

We are focusing on real life stories of both failures and lessons learned in your journey of coping with new cutting edge technology as well as revealing the trends and showing the path of the future to our audience.
