October 2024 marked a milestone for the software testing industry in Asia.
What began as a spirited discussion in Tokyo during the ISTQB General Assembly in Autumn 2023, followed by another strategic meeting in Budapest in Spring 2024, has now officially taken shape. The Asia Software Testing Alliance—better known as AsiaSTA—was formally inaugurated in Bali, Indonesia, in a gathering that brought together the pioneers and leaders of software quality from across the region.
This wasn’t just another industry meetup. This was history in the making.

The inauguration event welcomed founding and executive members from national testing boards in China, Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia. Also present were representatives from the global software testing community, who joined the event to support and celebrate the beginning of this important collaboration.
It was more than a celebration—it was a statement: Asia is ready to lead.
From conversations about standardization and certification to real-world challenges in testing automation, AI, and regional growth, the event buzzed with ideas, unity, and forward momentum.
