Providing the best leading-edge online training to all our professional testers around the Sogeti world

As a world leader in business-driven quality assurance and testing services, we, at Sogeti, are constantly looking for ways to strengthen the skills of our team of 2,800 international dedicated test experts in 14 countries worldwide, by providing the best training and professional development available, based on our own ‘thought leadership’.

With testers in countries from India, through Europe, to the US, it is important to bring any learning opportunity to as many employees at the same time as possible, without disrupting client work. So Sogeti’s solution - its Testing Academy - developed specifically for the whole of Sogeti’s international testing community, delivers an intensive synchronous online training program. This allows all testing professionals to participate ‘virtually’ from distant parts of the Sogeti worldwide footprint, logging on from home, client site, Sogeti offices or even coffee shops. 

Sogeti's Second Testing Academy: 29th April 2009

Our Second Testing Academy was broadcast around the world to testers from Sogeti and Capgemini. Speakers were drawn from Sogeti’s own international experts as well as guest speakers from outside the Group including  Joseph Sifakis from the French National Center for Scientific Research unit, CNRS Research - the largest fundamental research organization in Europe.

Hot testing topics on the program included Agile, End-to-end testing, Model-based testing Test automation and Sogeti’s latest development - Cloud Testing.

Example slide decks from Sogeti's own Thought Leaders, presented at the most recent Testing Academy, can be viewed or download below. Please contact the authors if you wish to know more information.
