The Economic Times is carrying an interesting article on the latest foraging ground for Indian IT companies - Software Testing.

Independent software testers — ThinkSoft and RelQ to name just two — have for long been seeing the software testing pie becoming bigger. More recently, even leading software development firms, such as Infosys and Wipro, have entered the scene, launching their own verification and validation divisions.

The size of the Indian market is estimated to be Rs 150 crore to Rs 200 crore, and is said to be growing at a faster rate than the global average. Already, Citibank, Europe , gets a chunk of its software tested in India . So does Standard Chartered Bank, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley and GE Capital.

Attention: more mindless monkeys needed.. :S
