Sudhakar P, CEO of Cigniti Inc. said “Software companies all over the world are looking to engage in testing labs offering the whole gamut of services. We are always trying to better meet the needs of our industry partners and fulfill our vision to help companies improve the quality of software being delivered worldwide. We are aiming to be a global leader in the independent testing services space in the next few years.”
According to Gartner and Nasscom forecasts, independent software testing is a niche that is growing faster than the overall IT services market. The recent 2011 NASSCOM report on Software Testing forecasts independent testing services in India to grow to $13-15 Billion by 2020 at a CAGR of more than 20% and expand India’s current 32% share of the overall global outsourced testing services.


Tools and automation will eliminate about 25% of the efforts associated with testing and with the focus on using open source tools, Cigniti hopes to set new milestones and emerge as one of the most respected Independent Testing Services companies in the world.
