“Gaining test automation skills has become a crucial requisite for a future-proof QA career,” said Rahul Sahay, Head of HR for India & Sri Lanka at Virtusa. “We identified technical and test automation skills, tools and knowledge required to elevate software testers to a highly marketable position as the demand for test automation continues to grow. The QA Automation module builds on a strong foundation to Quality Assurance followed by test automation architecture, deployment and reporting, with practical lab sessions and case studies to enable students to transition from manual to test automation. The launch of the QA Automation module follows the successful introduction of a Salesforce module by Virtusa across local universities earlier this year. We are creating a globally benchmarked talent pool that can remain highly marketable in both credentials and expertise in a very competitive talent landscape,” Sampath Thrimavithana, Head of Talent Development & Campus Reach for Sri Lanka, Virtusa further elaborated.
