Increasing
We strive to increase awareness of ethical and professional testing standards in the general public.
Communication and professional development are promoted through quarterly meetings, active mailing list, and projects advancing the mission of the organization. Some members attend the annual NCTA conference which provides opportunities for professional networking, valuable information on technical and operational developments related to testing, and chances to interface with representatives from all of the major testing companies.
We support the mission, standards, and guidelines outlined by the NCTA.
