Career in SQA and Testing | Roundtable

SQABD held its 11th roundtable, with the support of BASIS. This roundtable was on “Career in SQA and Testing”.

Career in SQA and Testing is very new in Bangladesh compared to other careers in software development. Confusion regarding this career path is a common scenario. The purpose of this roundtable is to face the brutal facts regarding this career path in Bangladesh. We tried to identify how Employers and Academia can contribute to this area to positively influence the Bangladesh software industry.

The roundtable was held on January 13, 2007, from 4:15pm to 7:15pm. BASIS facilitated this roundtable by organizing the venue and providing the services for the meeting. SQABD moderated the meeting.
