... To keep on getting business, companies perhaps need to
think about testing from an engineering point-of-view, rather than service,
as STAG is doing.
... STAG's Ashok T says his primary interest is to see if his organization
can come up with techniques and methods supported by tools that can guarantee the quality
of software. "The intent is for a more scientific way to test software. Over the last five
years, we have applied various methods for customers in many domains. We have distilled the whole
thing and called it STAG Test Engineering Method. This method will take us close to
promising that a software will not have any major issues." he says.
Ashok T, STAG Software: The fact that large companies now have their own independent
verification and validation groups, tells us that there good business growth. If the servicing
of business has been done well, then these groups should grow. Some of the standalone - small
and large companies have equally grown. The number of companies in independent testing
has also increased.
