The highlight videos from SOFTECAsia 2026 and TDC 2.0 are now on the YouTube channel of the Malaysian Software Testing Board (MSTB). Together they cover a season of software testing in Malaysia: the TDC 2.0 student finals at Multimedia University in August, and two days of SOFTECAsia 2026 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in September.
SOFTECAsia 2026
The 17th edition of SOFTECAsia brought testers, developers, quality leaders and academics to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on 14 and 15 September 2026, under the theme SQA Without Boundaries. The three keynotes came from Dr. Klaudia Dussa-Zieger, President of ISTQB (Germany), Werner Henschelchen, Founder and CEO of GASQ (Germany), and Tariq King, CEO of Test IO (USA), followed by six concurrent sessions, the closing panel and a day of hands-on workshops. In the words of Puan Azizah Hamzah, Director of MSTB, in her welcome remarks: “Quality is no longer a final checkpoint at the very end of a cycle.”
TDC 2.0
