PNSQC 2026 Quality Jam (Seattle Location)

It’s time to kick off the 2026 Call for Papers with a Quality Jam! This will be an evening of lightning talks to inspire and be inspired for new proposals on software quality — a jam session to get together as a group and hear a variety of perspectives.

The speaker lineup for this year is:

• "Testing the Future: From Testing Code to Testing Intelligence" with Premi Vinayagam from Jama software
• "The OWASP Top 10 Isn’t a Vulnerability List—It’s a Mirror: What 2025 Tells Us About Supply Chain Security" with Caroline Wong
• "Test Plans Made Easy: Saying a Lot By Saying Very Little" with Wayne Rosenberry
• "Data-Driven API Test Case Generation Using AI and Model Context Protocol" with Joseph Petsche
• "Formally Secure Hardware with Rust" with Calvin Deutschbein
• "Lessons Learned in AI Engineering" with Mitch White
• "Software Quality by Example as a Senior Engineer" with Mark Kleinhaus

Make a New Year's resolution to build your career by increasing your quality know-how and skills, and make some new connections with other software quality professionals.

The first hour will provide time for networking and a chance to share some food and drink.

This event is sponsored in part by PLUS QA. PLUS QA makes software testing simple.

This event is hybrid - we'll be returning to the University Place Hotel, and we'll also stream it online, all for free!
