1. Do you provide any training on Tools (like Winrunner, Loadrunner, TestDirector, SilkTest, etc.)?

Ans.
We provide training on Tools like JCover, JMeter, FMAS (Tool developed by STAG). Further, we do provide training on IBM Rational Functional Tester tool also. We help candidates gain knowledge in fundamentals of Automation, and exposure to above tools. This will help them better in their career. Learning Testing is akin to learning driving. You cannot drive a car, just by knowing how to use an automatic gear. You need to drive the car before you learn the automation part. This we strongly believe in.


2. Do you provide any domain specific training?

Ans.
We believe that testing fundamentals remain same for all domains.




3. Do we get any testing exposure on live Projects?

Ans. Participants will get to work on a realistic project, in PCSTEplus program. However, we do provide internship for a period of 8 weeks in STEP program. During internship, you are exposed to real organizational environment and work under a mentor. Internship prepares you as market-ready professional software test engineer.



4. What is the difference between PCSTEplus and STEP program?

Ans. Both the programs help you gain sound understanding in software test engineering concepts and functional test automation. In PCSTEplus, you are exposed to technology of application environment; however, this is covered in little more depth in STEP program. Further, there is internship in STEP program that makes a fully developed software test engineer. If you are already working or worked as tester with no formal knowledge in software testing, PCSTEplus would enable you to gain formal understanding of software test engineering to help you contribute more productively. However, if you were a fresher and aspiring to be software test engineer then STEP program would be more suitable for you.



5. Whether STAG undertakes any development projects?

Ans. STAG is a focused software test engineering organization. We do not undertake any application development projects.



6. Is there a crash course?

Ans. We do not believe in any short cut to testing. We do conduct public workshops on specific subjects, which are of 2/3 days duration. People interested can register themselves for these courses, we will inform them as, and when the next public workshop is fixed.



7. Are there any Weekend Batches available?

Ans. Yes, we do have weekend batches for functional test automation program, as for other programs, depending on the demand we shall consider.



8. Why is your program fee high?

Ans. We are not a training institute. We are a testing company sharing our knowledge on testing with aspiring test engineers. What we teach is practical approach to testing and not just theory available in books. The test engineering concepts are taught by senior faculty with over 20+ years of experience in the IT industry. Further, our curriculum is designed to help you gain skills as desired by the industry. We help you prepare to be market-ready and employable.



9. Is there any discount on the course fee?

Ans. At times, we do come out with special offer schemes. This will be suitably notified to public. However, for group enrollment of more than three participants we do provide special consideration in discounted price. Please check with our office



10. Can one participant use one machine?

Ans. We believe in team building exercise and feel that making the students to share the computer with another person ensures that they also learn to interact and communicate.



11. Can I work for extra hours in lab?

Ans. Yes, participants may use our lab when others are not using it, as long as it is within STAG's official working hours.



12. What placement assistance and assurance STAG provides?

Ans. We have a full-time person to provide placement assistance. We have placement partnership with over 40+ IT companies. There is minimum 10 entry-level position openings every month to be fulfilled in these companies. Our placement assistance service provides minimum four prospective employer interview for all PCSTEplus participants. Our curriculum focus not only in teaching the right testing concepts but also to answer the interview questions with confidence. Hence there is job assurance. As for STEP program it is 100% Job guarantee program. We do except our participants to our program to perform well as the employers do expect them to perform and contribute from day one.



13. What will be the Job opportunity outside/inside STAG?

Ans. Industry needs qualified software engineers and there is a growing demand for right talent. Our program focuses in enriching the participant with the right balance of test knowledge and skills desired by companies. Thereby the participant stands better chance of being employed by a company. Whenever there is need for software test engineers at STAG, we do first look at the profiles of the students passed out. We do call the candidate for an interview.



14. What are the chances of acquiring a job in software field for Diploma, B.Sc., M.Sc., B.Pharm, and Biotechnology, B.E. (Civil, Mech., Chemical, Instrumentation, and Industrial Production)?

Ans.
Though we at STAG would not like to discriminate people with such academic background, the industry in general dictates the desired academic background for a tester. There is a severe shortage of quality testers in the market currently. Various articles have appeared on this in newspapers. Demand for skilled testers are aplenty, if a candidate has an attitude and aptitude towards testing, he/she will be a perfect fit for any organization seeking testers. However, it is preferred if candidates have some basic knowledge of programming languages like C and C++.



15. What is the Knowledge/experience of the faculties involved?

Ans.
Our faculties are practicing professionals. Have rich experience & knowledge in the field of software test engineering. They have over 20+ years of IT Experience, out of which they have devoted 10 years in the field of software test engineering. We have trained over 4000+ test engineers.
