June 6, 2009 - PRLog -- Colorado Springs, Colorado - The Association for Software Testing is revving up for it's fourth annual CAST conference - a conference filled with tutorials and educational sessions for software testers in all stages of their careers. CAST brings software testers from around the globe to share in discussions and tutorials designed to advance the knowledge and practices of software testing.

While previous year's conferences have taken place in Toronto, Ontario; Bellevue, Washington; and Indianapolis - this year's CAST conference is to be held in Colorado Springs, Colorado on July 13 through the 16, and will be housed at the elegant Antlers Hilton in downtown Colorado Springs.

The theme for this year's conference is "Serving Our Stakeholders", and will feature prominent keynote speakers such as Dr. Jonathan Koomey, Dr. Cem Kaner, James Bach, Jerry Weinberg and Michael Bolton. The conference will cover topics such as developing better software testing measurements, translating stakeholders' performance desires, and even how to further your self-education as a software tester.

Ben Simo, president of the Association for Software Testing says, "The primary goal of CAST is to bring testers together for conferring that leads to advancing the understanding and practice of software testing - both for each participant and the profession". Since 2006, the CAST conference has been leading the way in giving testers an outlet for active advancement in the field.
