The 2023 EuroSTAR Testing Excellence Award is open for nominations!
Take a moment to consider who you would like to see recognized for their outstanding dedication and contributions to the world of software testing. It might be your colleague, your mentor, team-leader, or an author whose knowledge sharing has helped you in your career.
Community recognition
The Testing Excellence Award is the highest honour awarded by our community each year. It highlights outstanding achievements by the exceptional people in our community: those who help us achieve more, be more, and aim for more by continuously striving for excellence in their work.
Who can nominate?
Anyone can make a nomination for the EuroSTAR Testing Excellence Award, but you will need input from others in the community to demonstrate your nominee’s contributions to the overall software testing community.
Who to nominate?
Think of your colleagues, friends, managers or mentors. Who through their passion, learning and willingness to share, significantly helps to move our industry and community forward?
They are usually driving innovation, research ways of advancing testing as a craft (and openly share their research!), and/or perhaps they are eternally supportive of others in the industry and help others grow.
They may have:
- Increased public awareness of the importance of software quality & testing
- Contributed to the improvement of software development and testing processes
- Advanced the publication of research findings in the field of software quality and testing
- Or it’s likely they will have promoted a love of further education and lifelong learning in software quality and testing

- Highlights of Contributions to the wider Testing Community
- Why they deserve this Award
- Testimonials from members of the Community
