Questcon is a division of Howard Systems International. They provide Software Testing focused assessments, process improvement & training, outsourcing and resource supplementation for all testing activity.

    Erik Hemdal, the principal there, is a colleague that is probably one of the best "tactical" testing managers and engineers I've ever worked with. He has recently focused more on teaching and hands-on software development, but retains keen interest and abilities in the Software Testing, Quality Assurance, Metrics and Quality Methodologies areas.

EstimatorPal from www.chemuturi.com  Chemuturi Consultants has designed an estimation support tool for a wide variety of software size, cost and schedule estimates. I use the product in my classes and it provides a platform for taking the manual effort out of software project estimation.

I recommend taking a look at the product. Factoring cost vs. functionality, there are no better alternatives.

   MATRIX Resources is one of the largest IT staffing and services firms in the U.S. As part of their service to clients, they offer quarterly workshops focused on relevent topics of interest to IT managers and leaders. I'm pleased to be part of their presenter pool and also an attendee. Matrix is a "top notch" firm in character, commitment and driving results.

    ASPE Technology is a well respected IT training and consulting firm. I've recently established a collaborative relationship with them in building a strong Software Testing & Quality Assurance consulting practice - as their SQA Practice Director.
