Mission:
The Association for Software Testing's Special Interest Group on Tester Education is dedicated to improving the state of the practice of software testing by improving the education (knowledge, skills, and testing-relevant self-awareness) of software testers. We expect to achieve the mission through advocacy for better testing education in universities and by providing high-quality materials, instructor training and direct courseware for professional development and self-study.
