PNSQC 2025 Call for Papers is OPEN!
It's time to get your thinking caps on and submit a technical or poster paper idea for our 43rd Annual conference.
Our theme for 2025 is "QI: Increase Your Quality Intelligence".
There are many aspects of quality that go beyond just the testing side of things. Quality is relevant to design, manufacturing, code, applications, user experience, writing/prose, and many other areas that may not be obvious or evident.
We invite everyone to submit talks on a broad range of subjects and issue this challenge along with it:
"What can I do to increase the overall quality intelligence of myself, my team, and the greater community?"
If you have an answer for that, we’d love to have you speak about it.
