SOFTECAsia

SQA Without Boundaries. The 17th edition of Southeast Asia's leading software testing conference. 12–15 September 2026 | KL Convention Centre, Malaysia.

Organised by MSTB. softecasia.org About SoftecAsia:
MSTB has been organising SOFTECAsia annually since 2008 as national-level event in Malaysia. By intent, the conference features a wealth of international speakers who are well-known in the global arena of software testing. Today, SOFTECAsia has grown to become premier software testing event in the Asian region through support from software professionals in Malaysia and other Asian countries. In 2013, the event went regional with SOFTECAsia 2013. It was a natural expansion of geographical coverage for the conference. SOFTECAsia 2023:
Digital Transformation, accelerated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, continues to reshape how businesses operate. It prescribes that technologies be incorporated across organisations to drive fundamental changes in corporate strategies. The advent of advanced technology applications such as Internet of Thing (IoT), Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents new ways of doings things and new business opportunities. Simultaneously it increases the complexity and sophistication of support systems for corporate strategy development and decision-making processes. Indeed software-enabled solutions are fast becoming a crucial element in corporate transformation and, to a certain extent, governance. Consequently, risks associated with software quality have now become the responsibility of the corporate level. Reliance on poor quality software-enabled systems may result in failure of the transformation programmes, misdirected strategies, or misaligned ex*****on of strategic plans. MSTB thus strongly advocates that organisations incorporate Software Quality Assurance (SQA) in their Digital Transformation programmes from the onset. Based on this perspective, “SQA-Driven Transformation” is chosen as the theme for SOFTECAsia 2023, the 14th edition of Asia’s premier conference on SQA and software testing.

MSTB Welcomes ARRANGILITY SDN. BHD. 🤝

On 20 October 2026, MSTB was delighted to host the team from Arrangility Sdn. Bhd., a Cyberjaya-based software testing and QA solutions company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Human Crest Co., Ltd. (Japan).

Mr Tomotaka Asagi, CEO of Arrangility and CTO of its Japanese parent, Human Crest Co., Ltd., led the delegation. Many in our community will know him from SOFTECAsia 2026, where he was one of our speakers. He was joined by Ms Aslina Aminuddin, Asia Regional Operation Manager (Quality Solution Division) at Human Crest, and Ms Nur Fadzliana Farouk Khan, Solution Sales.

During the visit, both parties explored opportunities for Arrangility to contribute to the growth of Malaysia's software testing ecosystem, while building a collaboration that brings mutual benefits to both organisations. These include knowledge sharing, MSTB’s industry events, talent development, and joint initiatives for the testing community. By combining MSTB's role as the national body for software testing with Arrangility's industry expertise and Japanese industry networking & quality practices, this collaboration aims to create shared values for the ecosystem in line with MSTB's mission and vision.

We thank Arrangility for their encouraging commitment, and we look forward to welcoming more industry partners who share our goal of strengthening software quality in Malaysia. 🇲🇾

Photo dump 5/10: Day 1 afternoon at SOFTECAsia 2026. Six concurrent sessions across three rooms, a Kahoot quiz that had the whole hall on their phones, and the closing panel, "SQA Without Boundaries", moderated by Nithin SS (Head of QA, Lodgify, Spain).

Quiz twist: the champion played under a nickname, so nobody knew who it was till we called the winners up. It was Dr. Klaudia Dussa-Zieger, President of ISTQB and our first keynote speaker.
Thank you to every speaker, panellist and everyone who stayed till the end.
Next up: Day 2.

Photo dump 6/10: Day 2 of SOFTECAsia 2026 was hands on. Ten workshops, five rooms, laptops open and speakers working right alongside delegates.

Big thank you to Pricilla, Paul, Nithin, Tariq, Vipin, Lalitkumar and Tomotaka for running the rooms, and to every delegate who showed up ready to work.
Next up: the in-between moments.

Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un.
MSTB merakamkan ucapan takziah kepada keluarga Allahyarhamah Tun Dr Hasmah Mohd Ali, yang kembali ke rahmatullah pagi tadi di Institut Jantung Negara pada usia 100 tahun.

Allahyarhamah merupakan doktor yang berbakti di luar bandar Kedah, pejuang kesihatan ibu dan anak, serta Canselor pertama Multimedia University. Malaysia telah kehilangan seorang tokoh ulung yang telah banyak berjasa kepada negara.

Semoga roh Allahyarhamah dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan dalam kalangan orang-orang yang beriman. Al-Fatihah.

Photo dump 3/10 is a thank-you post, because neither event happens without these people.

To the MSTB secretariat, the TDC 2.0 judges, the crew at Cinema MMU and KLCC, and our emcees: you handled everything the delegates and students never had to think about. Real ones only.
Next up: the keynotes.

Photo dump 2/10. In August, university teams pitched to industry judges at TDC 2.0. In September, the industry gathered at KLCC for SOFTECAsia 2026.

On Day 1 the two worlds met: TDC 2.0 champions Shift 2 T.Left (UiTM Shah Alam) took the SOFTECAsia stage to share their TDC experience and takeaways. Classroom to conference floor, and they owned it.
Next up: the people behind both events.
