The Hindu Business Line : Ready Test Go to double headcount

The company is also investing between $0.5 million and $1 million (between Rs 2.2 crore and Rs 4.5 crore) on infrastructure in its city centre, said a senior company official.

The number of employees could reach 1,000 in about 36 months following increased demand for software testing from third party testing services companies, Mr Shiv Kumar, Chief Executive Officer, Cybernet Software Systems, Inc that owns RTG, said.

The company is also looking for another facility in Chennai or in any other city, he said.

The demand for testing is from software developers, banks and Fortune 500 firms, which seek independent testers to check the quality, performance and reliability of software products and solutions, Mr Kumar told newspersons here today.

The company's Chief Operating Officer, Mr Sridhar Kulasekharan, said fixing errors in software at an advanced stage of software development is 100 times more expensive than doing so at the design stage.

"A couple of years ago, clients used to come to RTG to test a software at a later stage of development. However, today, clients come at the design stage itself," he said.
