With today’s emphasis on consumer-driven applications, and direct interaction between consumer and business, the role of software testing has been significantly elevated in importance as a most critical component of the software development process. Over the last decade, the software testing discipline has been evolving into a critical component for businesses to succeed and an opportunity for the best and the brightest to carve out exciting and rewarding careers.

Many years ago, software tester was not a minor player in the software development process. Even more, software tester was not considered a discipline in its own right. The essential role of software testing and software testers was to capture bugs in developer’s code.

The ‘consumerization’ of enterprise software applications exposes the competency and competitive advantages of your business. Enterprise software applications are increasingly becoming consumer driven with dramatic effect for businesses across diverse industries.
