Bangalore: "As applications become more complex, testing is going to be the need of the hour, while the sector which is growing about 45 percent annually among the various verticals of application development faces shortages of trained testers," said Neelam Dhawan, Managing Director, HP India. Blaming Indian IT education system which follows the curriculum that is not subjected to upgradation frequently, Neelam opines that Indian institutes fail to produce graduates who are updated with latest trends in technology.
Intending to fill the gap between education and employability and help the graduates to become well trained software testing professionals, HP, one of the testing majors has launched HP Software University (HPSU) in partnership with Indian Institute of Hardware Technology (IIHT).
The first of its kind program from HP will offer students accredited training on HP software and a curriculum path surrounding various testing software from HP like Quick Test professional and LoadRunner. Certified professionals would gain access to special HP software online resources providing the latest in software news, product information, job openings and more.
Software testing is a $13 billion market globally today and India is expected to contribute 70 percent of this. "Keeping in mind the tremendous market for software testing tools, we have partnered with HP and with program our students will be equipped with unique skills that will benefit and make them more marketable," said Keshava Raju, CEO, IIHT.
As per the estimates India is currently facing a shortage of 18,000 software testers and it may grow to 25,000 in the coming years. HP is eying to fill this gap by setting up training centers in Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Noida, Chennai and Bangalore. The company has plans to extend the program to more cities over the next few months.

Agreed. Normally The Institutes or the Franchisee hire the faculty to rush up their syllabus where you never gain required Skills. very minimal Institutes along with their production unit ( Software Development Centre / Delivery Centres ) running the same Testing Course which will drive you into a live environment. You will acquire real time skills instead of learning the subject which will make you employable. Because, you will learn the skill from the Domain Experts, not from the Faculty Members – for more details Anand 0 98415 66332

Nothing will work out.They just fool young-brains instead of providing jobs & making them employability they are earning money from these young people
