Technology is a foundational component on which human society is built, and software is increasingly at the heart of technology. Given its ever-increasing influence and effect on human life, health, and safety, software that is merely “good enough” is no longer good enough: It must be excellent, and excellent software requires excellent development practices, tools, techniques, and methodologies.

The Software Excellence Alliance is an international organization composed of individuals and organizations who share a passion for software development and a commitment to excellence in our practices. We provide a forum for networking, exchanging viewpoints, and sharing ideas and techniques that will help our users to achieve high-quality, customer-pleasing results while advancing the state of our collective practice.
