Hostenia.com have successfully executed induction training programs for many of our customers in the IT industry, for their fresh programmer recruits. In some of these cases, we have done the complete planning and design of these training programs.
IT companies typically recruit fresh software professionals from engineering colleges, universities offering computer science courses, as well as other private institutes. These professionals have some formal exposure to common programming languages and other platforms. However, the recruiting companies usually provide additional training to these people before they can be put on to live projects.
As network security assumes significance for businesses and investment in security infrastructure grows by the day, the need to validate the knowledge and skills of network security professionals has also grown proportionately. If hacking involves creativity and lateral thinking, then vulnerability testing and security audits will not ensure a foolproof network security of an organization.
Typically the objectives of such induction training programs are:
- Enhancing the knowledge of the software testers.
- Training them on other platforms that they do not know.
- Providing them an overview of some of the important technologies, analysis and design methodologies, testing methodologies, etc.
- Training them on the IT Security standards.
- Knowledge on the Test Environment.
- Ability to plan tests.
- Ability to execute tests, design test cases, use test tools, etc.
- Ability to develop testing status reports.
- Test principles and concepts.
- Tester’s role in software development & acquisition.
- Test management.
- Building the test environment.
- Risk analysis.
- Test planning process.
- Test design and performing tests.
- Defect tracking, correction and preparing test reports.
To ensure that organizations have adequately protected their information assets, they must adopt the approach of ‘defense in depth’. In other words, they must penetrate their networks and estimate the security posture for vulnerabilities and exposure. This is what we ensure to provide in the field of software testing.
