Sopra Group has won the prestigious Triple Star Award at this year’s EuroSTAR conference – the premier event for the European software testing community. 

Edinburgh, 10/12/2009 – Sopra Group has won the prestigious Triple Star Award at this year’s EuroSTAR conference – the premier event for the European software testing community.  This annual award is presented to the speaker who can demonstrate the most original, innovative, reusable and pragmatic contribution to the event. 

Neil Pandit is one of Sopra Group’s Senior Test Consultants and a first-time speaker at EuroSTAR.  His winning presentation “A Visual Approach to Risk-Based Integration Testing” provided a fresh innovative take on the topic and proved a winner with the EuroSTAR delegates, who were responsible for evaluating the nominees.

Every year the EuroSTAR conference brings together a wide range of industry experts from across the globe to present on the latest developments in software testing.  This year’s event featured more than sixty presenters, and with nominees selected from across the programme, competition for the Triple Star Award was incredibly stiff.  The award was presented to Neil at the EuroSTAR awards ceremony at the official close of the conference.

" I was very  pleased to be selected to present at an event like EuroSTAR, and to actually win this award has been just fantastic, particularly as it's based on the delegates' choice; I really look forward to speaking at next  EuroSTAR," explained Neil Pandit.

Richard Mort, Head of Sopra Group's UK Testing Practice commented "we've been providing a wide range of testing solutions for over twenty years and are delighted that our innovative approach to global testing solutions continues to be recognised."

The EuroSTAR conference has been running for over 15 years and is widely recognised as the most successful European software testing conference, as well as the key training and education event in the European testing calendar.  Around 600 delegates attended this year’s event which was held in Stockholm from 30th November – 3rd December 2009.
