QA&TEST 2025 Safety and Cybersecurity - Madrid, April 3 and 4.
QA&TEST Safety and Cybersecurity is the annual conference organized by Software Quality Systems, focusing on addressing the aspects of safety and cybersecurity in an integrated manner during the whole development cycle of products and systems.
Today, it is impossible to think of a system as safe without being cybersecure. Systems are becoming hyper connected and increasingly complex, which compels us to equip ourselves with technologies and approaches that allow us to tackle such complexity. It is in this context that QA&TEST Safety and Cybersecurity was born, with the aim of providing a grounded and integrated response to this growing need in the industry.
In this context, QA&TEST Safety and Cybersecurity will celebrate its fifth edition in Madrid on the 3rd and 4th April 2025.

The programme for this fifth edition of QA&TEST Safety and Cybersecurity will be selected through a call for papers to be evaluated by our international committee of experts.
We expect to receive proposals that address the integration of Safety and Cybersecurity requirements throughout the entire system development cycle, ensuring the implementation and operation of Safe and Cybersecure systems while meeting the planned deadlines, budget, and expectations of different stakeholders.
