The “Software Testing” course, organized by Arcadia, Inc., in cooperation with St. Petersburg State University of Informational Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO) is over. The majority of students passed their tests successfully and therefore learned the fundamental notions of quality assurance in theory and had a chance to implement them in practice.
“Software testing” was an optional course for the fourth year students. Nevertheless, many of them revealed interest in this topical discipline. The students made their presentations on the subject, fulfilled test papers and, last but not least, left positive references about the joint program of Arcadia and ITMO.
According to test results the selected participants of this course were offered to become Arcadians after a probation period.
Both the students and the professors admit importance of developing similar educational programs which help to discover the potential of Russian IT specialists and train young probationers up to the professional level.
