Software Testing Conferences Worth Attending in Spring 2021
It is very hard to evaluate the advantages you might get from attending professional conferences. You may be a junior or a middle-level tester, and you may be a senior QA team-lead with years of experience – either way such conferences might change your entire perspective towards the subject! Sharing ideas, opinions, challenges, plans and doubts with our peers is what conferences are all about. The main goal of each conference is to promulgate advanced research and the newest technology, to study, work out, share ideas and, of course, to network. The global pandemic of COVID-19 changed the entire scene of offline physical conferences. The majority of events either cancelled, or moved to the virtual space of online conference only. Still, one must attend these conferences in order to remain updated with the latest trends of one’s profession. Thus, in this article we will discuss why QA specialists need to attend conferences (online and offline) that are worth attending in spring 2021.
