Seattle Area Software Quality Assurance Group (SASQAG) provides educational opportunities in a non-commercial atmosphere within an organization of software quality professionals. SASQAG is looking for speakers for their monthly (3rd Thursday) evening session. Please contact speakers@sasqag.org if you or someone you know would be interested in sharing of knowledge and experience including software standards and processes or building awareness of software quality assurance.
Examples of past talks might give you an idea of typical topics. For example see http://sasqag.org/pastmeetings.htm
We typically try to alternate between a Testing talk (e.g.
technique, tool) and a software quality (e.g. process) talk.
Along the way of course, process is interwoven with program
management, development, etc.
