git clone [email protected]:TestingConferences/testingconferences.github.io.git cd testingconferences.github.io

2. Make sure you've got Docker (or Orbstack) installed and Run the setup process

Contributing Guidelines

The list of events is driven by files in the _data folder - if you have an update for those things, just change the current.yml and past.yml files and send a PR.

• The order of the events listed in current.yml and past.yml dictates the order displayed, please make sure to properly insert events.
• If possible, spell out the conference name and add the abbreviation. Otherwise just use the abbreviation:
  • Example: Workshop on Performance and Reliability (WOPR)
• If the conference name has a colon (:), place the entire name in quotes. Otherwise this can cause build errors.
  • Example: "test:fest 2099" or "IBCU: Workshop on Testing 2099"
• Include the year
  • Sometimes workshops use a version instead of a year
    • Example: Workshop on Performance and Reliability (WOPR) 24
• Don't include the @ symbol for the twitter handle. If there is no twitter option, leave it blank
• Optionally include a status such as:
  • CFP is open / closed (CFP == Call for Proposal)
  • CFP is closed
  • Early Bird Registration is open
  • Registration is open / closed
  • Feel free to put in dates about when things expire
  • Feel free to put the status as a link to the correct place
• Optionally include a link to a conference video playlist. This will only appear for past conferences and can be added directly to the past.yml file.
  • These should be videos from the conference presentations or talks. No marketing videos please.

Eligible Conferences and Workshops

Focus is a goal of this project and as a result, only conferences, un-conferences and workshops that are specifically for software testing are listed. That means that if a conference covers software testing, but is not specifically for testers, then it is left out.

A good heuristic for whether a conference should be included is if its name includes Test(ing) or Quality and/or how it describes itself.
