University for software testing

Special Correspondent

BANGALORE: Hewlett Packard (HP) in association with the Indian Institute of Hardware Technology (IIHT) on Thursday launched HP Software University here. The global software testing market is estimated to be $13 billion and India is expected to contribute 70 per cent of the market. Its present share is $6.5-7 billion.

What stands in the way, according to Hewelett Packard India Managing Director Neelam Dhawan, is the shortage of 25,000 qualified testing professionals.

HP is trying to bridge this gap. While the institute will provide the planned training HP will give the worldwide recognised certificate.

The two organisations had enjoyed a ten-year partnership and the training course would be different from similar ones offered by various institutions, IIHT CEO Keshava Raju said.

The software university programme was for graduates in any stream, Ms. Dhawan said.

There would be accredited training on HP software and a curriculum around various testing software like Quick Test Professional and LoadRunner.

Besides Bangalore, courses are to be offered at seven other cities including Chennai and Hyderabad.
