Update! Speakers & Talks for GTAC 2010

Update! Speakers & Talks for GTAC 2010

We are thrilled to announce the speakers and talks for the 5th Google Test Automation Conference (GTAC). This year’s event will have a total of 11 talks. This includes the three keynotes
that we announces earlier and eight other talks. These talks span the
three sub-categories of Testing, Testability and Test Automation which
are an integral part of this year’s theme “Test to Testability”.

As
we had shared earlier, for this year’s GTAC we used a new process of
letting the selected attendees vote on the talks they wanted be a part
of GTAC. The committee tallied the votes and ensures a healthy
distribution between topics and participants from across the globe and
relevance to our theme. We received over 80 submissions and have an
acceptance rate of about 10%. Our thanks to everyone who submitted a
proposal and all the attendees who voted to make this a successful
process.

Here is the list of talks. More details can be found at the select talks page on the GTAC site.
