Software Testing Conferences July – December 2022
One of the best ways for QA testers to keep up to date with trends in the field, and to network with people with the same interest levels, is to attend conferences. Following a couple of years of virtual conferences and even canceled events, many event organizers came back in 2022 to hold in-person gatherings, and others are opting for hybrid events.
Especially for you, members of the QA community, we are listing here the most notable Software Testing Conferences for the second half of the year, so you can align your schedule and start making travel plans.
