In the world the demand for technicians dedicated to software testing has skyrocketed. In Uruguay there is also a growing market of opportunities for software quality control, but the people who do it still belong to a segment where there are not many opportunities for formal professionalization.
The academy trains programmers, systems analysts, project managers, infrastructure technicians, but not software testers. Most of those who work in this discipline do not have formal accreditations and only have the contribution of their experience and self-taught capacity as tools in the labor market.
Software quality control is an activity that must be methodical, professional and efficient in order to meet its objective and provide the value expected of it as part of an engineering process.
The firm make IT work, led by entrepreneur Silvia Nane, is part of the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) since its inception in 2010, when we incorporated its certification system in our team. "After evaluating our experience, we started to teach the courses that prepare the ISTQB certifications to train professionals in the rest of the local software industry," said Silvia.
"In make IT work we feel that sincere 'mea culpa' of belonging to an industry that historically has been little credible in the timing and budgets of their projects. We believe that by training professionals with a quasi-obsessive focus on software quality, we are on the right track. A lot of money is invested in software, both in the public and private sectors, and this must be compensated with an unquestionable level of quality in its products".
In 2016 we have delivered for the seventh time the basic level of ISTQB Software Testing certifications, and we are preparing the next one for October 24th to 27th.
