Grid-Tools providing test data solutions in India
Huw Price, stated, “Grid-Tools is growing rapidly and where we are gaining the most attention is in the software testing world in Bangalore. We continue to spend a great deal of time in India and have secured a Platinum Sponsorship at the QSIT STeP-IN SUMMIT in January.  This is one reason we decided to donate the money to an Indian charity.  The other is because we strongly believe in the vision of the charity and what it is doing for the children in India. The Sujnana Trust provides disadvantaged children in India with necessities like clothes, books and pencils and aims to provide infrastructure and education.”

The Software & Systems Quality Conference in London took place on September 29th and 30th, where Grid-Tools were exhibitors.  The organization hosted a successful ‘Lion’s Den’ event for the first year, where exhibitors were encouraged to compete against one another by providing new and innovative ideas in software testing.  The winner was to win a £500 donation to the charity of their choice.  Huw Price stressed the importance of the quality of test data and test data generation; focusing on achieving a good spread of data and maximising code coverage, all methodologies in which Grid-Tools specialise.
