在馬來西亞軟件測試中心（Malaysian Software Testing Hub，MSTH)的倡議下并由馬來西亞軟件測試局（Malaysian Software Testing Board，MSTB）所主辦，亞洲SOFTEC2013將从九月2日至5日在雙威度假酒店及水療 （Sunway Resort Hotel and Spa）舉行。Mesiniaga BERHAD是为大會的合作夥伴。
在配合亞洲SOFTEC 2013的举行下，MSTB也將舉辦首屆亞太軟件質量網絡軌道的董事會會議（Asia Software Quality Network, ASQN）。 ASQN 專注於促進亚洲地區軟件質量。除了日本和馬來西亞，ASQN的成員還包括中國，越南，菲律賓，泰國和新加坡。
MSTB总监Mastura Abu Samah表示，首屆亞洲SOFTEC2013在軟件測試和軟件質量保證的一個重要的里程碑，也同时推崇馬來西亞為全球市場的軟件測試服務的主要樞紐的定位。
“這次會議將有來自世界各地的軟件測試和軟件質量保證的專家和經驗豐富的從業者到此。亞洲SOFTEC 2013將呈現一個千載難逢的機會，讓从业者從他們身上學习。”
“在內容方面，本次會議提供技術和業務導向的會議。因此，超出軟件和質量保證專業人員和從業人員的相關會議。Mastura还表示，“企業的管理者和決策者也能从此會議中受益。”
亞洲SOFTEC2013採取了 “步行測試” 為主題。與此同時，亞洲SOFTEC 2013也將会成为一個让馬來西亞分享其軟件測試的專業知識和能力的舉措和發展平台。
自2008年以來，MSTB设SOFTEC作為一個國家級的會議，本次活動吸引了來自其他在近年來都表示有兴趣参加的亞洲國家。升级至區域級SOFTEC会议是一個自然性的地域擴展覆蓋。
