Google is sponsoring a program that provides free registration at ISSTA for women in their first three years of graduate studies who have an interest in software testing and analysis, but have not yet published research in the area. The goal of the program is to reach out to students who wouldn’t otherwise attend ISSTA, so that they can see the world-class research presented at the meeting, network with researchers in the field, and develop their interests in software testing and analysis.
