Team Inflectra sponsored the StarWest 2023 conference in lovely Anaheim, CA, a cornerstone event for professionals in the software testing and quality assurance fields. From lively discussions on the exhibit floor to in-depth industry technical presentations (ITP), this year's event was a dynamic gathering of experts, innovators, and thought leaders. For our customers in regulated industries—be it health, insurance, finance, or defense—staying ahead of software quality and security methodologies isn't an option; it's a necessity. This participation enables us to provide Inflectra customers and partners with software solutions that are not only cutting-edge but also deeply aligned with our customers' stringent requirements.
Showing off the Inflectra Platform
This year, we proudly showcased SpiraPlan, and Rapise—our flagship products designed to address complex needs in software project management, testing, and automation.
Our ITP demo was tailored to illustrate how Inflectra's platform can seamlessly integrate into your existing infrastructure, thus enhancing productivity, reducing risk in software testing, and improving software quality.
In his Technical Presentation on October 5, 2023, called Risk, AI, and Software Testing: A Deep Dive, Adam Sandman, the CEO of Inflectra, spoke about Risk-Based testing methodology and its relevance in today's AI-centric paradigm, the dichotomy between harnessing AI's capabilities and managing inherent risks, and advanced strategies and tools such as model-based testing, exploratory testing, and risk analysis that offer precise navigation through the maze of potential challenges.
Conversations that Matter
The Inflectra team members had the opportunity to engage in insightful dialogues with current customers and prospects. These conversations often ventured beyond mere feature lists, delving into compliance norms, high-quality software delivery, and managing complex project requirements.
This year at StarWest, the importance of deepening relationships with our existing partners and vendors was a focal point for Team Inflectra. We understand that long-term collaborations are built on mutual growth and shared visions for the future. To that end, Team Inflectra engaged in meaningful discussions with our partners, exploring avenues for expanding our cooperative efforts and focusing on how we can jointly offer more value to customers.

We did not forget about fun, either
While StarWest 2023 offered a wealth of professional growth and learning, we at Inflectra believe that all work and no play make for a dull conference. That's why we sprinkled in some fun to keep the energy levels high and the interactions engaging.
Swag and Levity
Our booth was stocked with some fantastic swag that became the talk of the event. From cleverly named James Bond pens to handy tech gadgets, we had something for everyone. But what set the tone was our general levity and a sense of humor, making even the most technical discussions feel like a chat among friends. And yes, #dadjokes were in full swing, eliciting smiles and eye-rolls in equal measure.
Our Corn Hole/Bean Bag Toss Game was a major attraction for those looking for a little competitive spirit. Participants took their chances to win, and the atmosphere was filled with excitement. This simple yet engaging game served as a great icebreaker, but the stakes were high. The winner had to beat 25 other competitors in 3 rounds. Ms. Kris walked away with our latest gadget—a Laser Projection Keyboard! By balancing serious discussions with moments of levity and fun, we made sure that StarWest 2023 was memorable and helped participants build lasting relationships amongst each other and with Team Inflectra!
All in all, Starwest 2023 was another step in our journey to deliver unparalleled value to our customers and prospects.
