Software Testing - Are we pushing the frontiers?
Srinivas Chandrasekar, Aztec Software and Technology Services Limited
 
In this presentation, Srinivas talks on attitudinal and technological shift that would be needed to make India a truly global powerhouse in Software Testing. India needs to evolve further from its tactical approach to testing. Even as we try and consolidate our leadership position in IT services, we need to ensure that we are constantly moving up the value chain in terms of services being offered. Today, more and more ISVs are turning to India for their outsourcing needs. The quality metrics and expectations of software, these companies build, is vastly different from the highly customized in-house software that we are used to building, for IT departments of enterprise verticals. Today, while the caliber of an Indian software engineer is widely recognized the world over, the brand equity of the Indian software test engineer has to be created.
 
Meet Srinivas Chandrasekar

Prior to that at Click2learn as the CTO/Executive VP of Products & Strategy, he created the e-learning industry’s first integrated suite offering. He came to Click2learn through the acquisition of Intelliprep Technologies, which he co-founded and served as CTO. Before Intelliprep, Srinivasan spent 7 years at Microsoft, most recently as head of the Microsoft Meta Directory Server development team, where he was responsible for integrating then recently acquired technologies into Microsoft’s suite of products.
