In October 2023, Inflectra and one of our trusted partners, Checkpoint Technologies, co-sponsored one of the longest-running professional software quality conferences in the country: the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference (PNSQC). PNSQC is a non-profit organization that was was founded in 1982 and seeks to promote software quality by providing education and opportunities for information exchange within the software community. This conference, being the 41st annual event, was full of testing practitioners from all over the US and even Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.

PNSQC provided a vibrant platform for the exchange of innovative ideas and industry insights. Team Inflectra teamed up with two of its most trusted Solutions Partners, Critical Logic and Checkpoint Technologies, to chat with attendees about tools and solutions provided by all three of the companies. We had great conversations with the attendees that stopped by our booth, and we gained a better understanding of the current challenges that quality managers and testing professionals face every day.
Bob Crews, the CEO And Co-Founder of Checkpoint Technologies, delivered his session Conquering Your Testing With Comprehensive and Agile Risk Analysis to the attendees of the conference! During his session, Bob discussed how performing Risk Analysis on testing assets can dramatically improve quality, covered key risk terminology and definitions, and provided two proven strategic approaches to Risk Analysis: comprehensive risk scoring, and a rapid, reliable Agile approach to risk scoring in detail. It was a great session. Bob was also able to discuss the advantages of using a tool like SpiraPlan to support tracking and mitigation of Risks within attendees' testing practices.
Amidst the professional discussions and informative sessions, a touch of enjoyment was added to the mix. Many ideas were exchanged during PNSQC, a great deal of networking and connecting occurred, and a lot of fun as well; to celebrate and wrap up a great event, Inflectra, Critical Logic, and Checkpoint Technologies hosted a post-conference happy hour. In this relaxed and jovial atmosphere, conference attendees had the opportunity to unwind and engage in casual yet constructive game of trivia. The game not only brought a sense of competition and excitement, but also offered attendees the chance to win enticing prizes. The three corporations coming together created an enjoyable and lighthearted way to cap off the event, creating lasting memories and strengthening the sense of camaraderie among the software quality community.
We very much appreciate the organizers and look forward to future events. Look out for Team Inflectra at the many conferences across the US, Europe, and the Middle East in the coming months.
