UCAAT 2026 will take place in ETSI Headquarters in Sophia Antipolis, France, on 14-16 April 2026.
Overview
The annual ETSI User Conference on Advanced Automated Testing (UCAAT) is the most important point in the calendar of ETSI’s Technical Committee Methods for Testing and Specification (TC MTS).
ETSI’s UCAAT conference, now in its twelve year, is dedicated to all aspects of automated testing including model-based testing, cloud testing, mobile testing, test methodologies, test management and standardized test specification by focusing on the practical challenges that are often faced in industry and standardisation.
This conference brings together research and industry from different application domains such as telco, banking, IT services, automotive, robotics, healthcare, defence and software vendors to meet, discuss and share their practical experiences in the field of software testing. UCAAT is aimed specifically at test engineers, test designers, test automation experts, test tool and test service providers, as well as test and quality assurance analysts. More broadly, UCAAT is also of interest to engineers working in software development, automation, and DevOps, as well as project leaders or managers in digital transformation, and academics and researchers in the field of testing.
UCAAT gives attendees a unique opportunity to discover, share, learn, and challenge modern test automation approaches, technologies and strategies for research, industry and standardization.
