 (TNO)-On August 28, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Hung, CEO-cum-President of LogiGear Vietnam, addressed research on feasibility of the Vietnam market in term of conquering a special segment of IT Outsourcing that is software-testing service.
The software testing market is a niche segment within the ITO category with global market size estimated at US $6.1 billion dollars in 2005 (Gartner Group, 2005). Software testing is an empirical investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of a software product or service in the context in which it is intended to operate. The intent of software testing is finding software bugs or errors to ensure optimum software performance for various industries.
The Vietnam market's viability is evaluated based on five metrics: cost of labor; workforce suitability; political & economic stability; government policies on business and intellectual property protection; and facility in English of its IT-related graduates and professionals.
Leading the way in growing Vietnam's software testing industry, LogiGear CEO/President Mr. Hung Q. Nguyen has been visionary in creating the infrastructure necessary for the growth of this new industry in Vietnam through efforts such as - collaborating with local universities to add software testing in the curriculum, preparing corporate plans to collaborate and make Logigear technologies available to university computer science labs, founding of Vietnam's LogiGear Test Training Center - a continuing education & training center of LogiGear USA, releasing software testing books well-regarded in the USA for the Vietnamese students & practitioners.
Mr. Hung Nguyen emphasized the long-term value of continued human resources training to commence then sustain the momentum of the country's drive to be an international hub. LogiGear University US, and now LogiGear Test Training Center in Vietnam, offers three main programs: software testing and information technology; English language proficiency; and other soft skills such as communication, leadership, project management among others.
As a recognized thought-leader in software testing in the US, Mr. Hung Nguyen co-authored (with Kaner and Falk) the US best-selling software testing book - "Testing Computer Software", 2nd edition, Wiley. This bestseller is a training book that can assist testers, project managers, programmers and students in enhancing their knowledge and skills in software testing. Mr. Nguyen also co-authored other important books relevant to the discipline: "Testing Applications on the Web," Wiley, and "Global Software Test Automation: A Discussion of Software Testing for Executives," HappyAbout. Two of the three books will be translated into Vietnamese and published in early 2009, aiming to make them available as indispensable resources to Vietnamese students and practitioners of software testing.
According to Mr. Hung, "With LogiGear's accumulated credentials from the highly competitive US market, our leadership efforts in growing the category, educating & creating tomorrow's promising software testing professionals - it is just a matter of time before the whole world starts to gravitate towards Vietnam for its expertise in software testing." |
