According to international standards, the ratio of developers and testers is 3:1 but that ratio is roughly 5:1 in Viet Nam

The fact is that the availability of intensive software testing training for test engineers inViet Nam is too few since there’s not enough to meet the demands.

According to international standards, the ratio of developers to testers is 3:1, sometimes that ratio is 1:1 within special projects, however, that ratio is roughly 5:1 in Viet Nam, according to representatives of LogiGear Viet Nam.

In the press meeting of VISTACON 2011 on July 14, LogiGear analyzed the situation in Vietnam and despite the important role of testing and quality assurance in the success of software projects, there is a shortage of companies providing sufficient expertise and services.

However, this company also confirms that the competitive advantages include: low cost and highly qualified technical skill labor, secured investment environment, outstanding service quality, and a low turnover rate. Vietnam exhibits an extremely attractive offshore destination for the software testing industry.

The theme of Vietnam International Software Testing & Automation Conference (VISTACON) 2011 will be “Advancing the Practice of Software Testing and Test Automation” held on December 6 -7 at the Sheraton Hotel.
