“Quality means doing it right even when no one is looking.”— Henry Ford
Quality Analysts are the gatekeepers of Software Applications. They are usually in the back seat and go unnoticed. But their role is so crucial that, at times, like in the case of medical software, human lives depend on it.
Today, digital is transforming the IT industry as a whole and it is disrupting Quality Assurance too. The First Chennai QA – Meetup organized by DCKAP on 4th Feb 2017 (Sat) was an attempt to reach out and bring together like-minded and passionate QA professionals, to discuss, learn and share with each other, the latest technology and trends in QA.
#ChennaiQAMeetup is about #softwareQA & #testing. We are open to anyone interested in discussing #QA. Know more https://t.co/nJYiJc2pFq
