Testing in Financial Services SIG

Visit the AST Software Testing's Testing in Financial Services SIG on CAST247.org.

Vision:

The Association for Software Testing's Testing in Financial Services SIG aims to advance the state of software testing at financial services firms, by developing a community of professionals who are interested in the testing and quality of financial software.

Toward this purpose, the SIG sponsors the Software Testing in Financial Services (STiFS) Workshop, which is a series of 2-day invitation-only participatory meetings of software testers and other QA professionals who work in financial services firms. It is a neutral forum - not biased toward any testing methodology or supporting vendor - to share, debate, and develop ideas on how to improve the testing of financial software.
