The 15th International Conference on TESTING COMPUTER SOFTWARE (TCS'98)
will be held June 8-12, 1998 in the Washington, D.C. area. The Conference
is on June 9-11, expanded with optional pre- and post-Conference
Workshops.
The Conference provides an opportunity to participate in the leading
international conference on software testing. Learn how testing
professionals and experts have used advanced methods and testing
applications to improve the effectiveness of their testing, reduce testing
costs and meet schedule and budget deadlines. The theme: "Testing Under
Pressure" is highly relevant to meeting the challenges of the increasingly
complex software development and usage environment.
