More than 50% of the software organizations in Bulgaria are experiencing shortages of skilled professionals in the field of software testing and quality assurance of applications (QA).

This is yet another indicator showing that there is need in the field of software testing and QA in Bulgaria. Universities and schools invest highly in developing the software development skills of the Bulgarian students, but there is no proper education, courses or any initiatives that directly aim in providing good software testing education. That inevitably leads to huge shortage of skilled and motivated QA specialists in Bulgaria.

Outsourcing needed

Due to the lack of any form of QA education in Bulgaria the software companies are forded to establish special educational programs for education their own QA specialists. This is very expensive and not very effective, so the demand for an outsourcing solution in this field is huge. Because in Bulgaria there is a lot software companies that educate their software testing specialists them selfs a company that can offer QA education would save not only money but also time and a lot of effort for keeping up to date the in-house education of the software testing specialists.

I was thinking about this the whole weekend and here I am sharing with you on this cloudy Monday morning. I believe this is a good niche for starting an outsourcing business. Lets hope someone would see that this is a huge opportunity for business as I see it now and hopefully we can see an educational outsourcing company specialized in software testing education. This will help us all and will help Bulgaria to develop as one of the top outsourcing destinations.
