In an endeavor to build an ecosystem of
industry-ready test engineers, Sabre has confirmed that it will
set up a Quality Assurance Center of Excellence (CoE) at Indira
Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women (IGDTUW).
“The incubation center is a first of its kind in
the Indian market focused towards an all women technical
university and will bring awareness of test engineering practices,
processes and the critical role it plays in the software
development lifecycle,” said Shail Maniar, Vice President and
Managing Director, Sabre India .“With complex and mission critical
software products being built at Sabre’s development center in
Bangalore, we see an increased demand for trained test engineers
in automation, performance engineering and big data testing. We
believe this program will benefit IGDTUW, the industry and Sabre.”
Sabre and IGDTUW signed a memorandum of
understanding to set up the knowledge center that will nurture
student skills on industry standard test engineering practices
through a combined program of workshops and webinars at IGDTUW,
Delhi and a six month internship program at Sabre’s development
center in Bangalore.
On successful participation in the CoE program
and completion of the internship, Sabre will also facilitate
International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB)
certification for students based on their performance.
“I am very happy to learn that Sabre is
establishing a Quality Assurance CoE at IGDTUW. The center would
provide hands-on training to the Masters in Computer Application
(MCA) students of IGDTUW in using Quality Assurance tools
effectively, while developing an insight into the latest software
testing techniques used in the IT industry,” said Nupur Prakash,
Vice Chancellor, IGDTUW. “This would give them an opportunity to
learn and use Quality Assurance tools from industry experts, which
in turn would enhance their knowledge and skills making them
employable and industry ready.”
IGDTUW, the first engineering college for women
established by the Government of Delhi in 1998, attracts more than
2000 students that enroll in various engineering programs offered
by the university.
