Software Development shakes-off the GFC-blues but cannot escape trouble

Planit Testing Index | Press Releases | December 16, 2010

Sydney, Australia – 16 December 2010 – Optimism has returned to software development projects across Australia and New Zealand, with over 60% of organisations reporting at least as much activity now as pre-GFC.

In the recent 2010 Planit Testing Index, surveying over 200 organisations, 26% of the industry indicated that they have now moved beyond pre-GFC activity levels.

According to Planit Managing Director, Chris Carter, this positive outlook also carries through to spending for software testing in 2011. “49% are going to be spending an increased amount of money on structured testing methodologies, which is encouraging to see,” said Carter. “We’re also seeing an increase in spend in Software Testing tools and also an increase in spend in training permanent staff.
