We Love Software Testing
EuroSTAR is an all-inclusive community where European software testers can collaboratively work towards evolving their profession while fulfilling their professional potential. EuroSTAR welcomes testers through a thriving annual conference and online platform called Huddle.
The annual EuroSTAR Software Testing Conference is a high-energy, fun and friendly celebration of the craft of testing in Europe. Held over 4 days, it features over 60 sessions including tutorials, workshops and talks and also includes asoftware testing exhibition which runs for 2.5 days.
In 2018 we celebrate 25 years of EuroSTAR with the 26th conference taking place from 12-15 November – at the World Forum in the Hague (Netherlands).

Sallyann Freudenberg
Agile ConsultantHow Our Differences Make All The Difference and What To Do About It
Join Sallyann as she asks YOU to consider diversity of the minds of testers and fully embrace and support all of the wonderful and different thinkers we have. This talk is a rallying cry against homogenous, one-size-fits-all environments, processes and recruitment methods, which often exclude those very best equipped to help our products, teams and organisations flourish.

James Christie
Consultant“There is a phrase used by people working with complex safety critical systems; “jousting with dragons” or “facing the dragons at the borderlands”. It comes from the practice in olden days of map-makers who would fill in the gaps in their knowledge of the world with monsters and warn “here be dragons”.
Throughout his keynote he will outline how one should work in these conditions of uncertainty and that testers will have to be brave enough to say “I don’t know”. -
Karen Johnson
DirectorWhat Are Your Overall Career Goals?
