Hetzel and Gelperin in conjunction with the British Computer Society.{{Cite web|url=http://www.testingreferences.com/testinghistory.php|title=Testing References - The History of Software Testing|last=Meerts|first=Joris|website=www.testingreferences.com|access-date=2017-05-10}}

EuroSTAR stands for European Software Testing Analysis & Review.

EuroSTAR is the longest running and largest European software testing and quality assurance conference that takes place in a different European city each year.

The annual conference has been the origin of many milestones in the history of software testing including the introduction of the W-Model by Paul Herzlich in 1993,{{Cite web|url=http://www.softwaretestingtimes.com/2010/04/v-model-to-w-model-w-model-in-sdlc.html|title=V Model to W Model {{!}} W Model in SDLC Simplified|website=Software Testing Times|access-date=2017-05-10}} the foundation of Dutch Special Interest Group in Software Testing (SIGIST) TestNet at EuroSTAR 1996 {{Cite news|url=https://www.testnet.org/testnet/download/common/20161023_historie-testnet-voor-website-v0-10.pdf|title=History of TestNet|last=Philip|first=Harro|date=2016-10-23|work=TestNet|access-date=2016-10-23}} and the foundation of the Test Lab (2009) which has since become a focal point at many international conferences on software testing.
