The Software Engineering Competence Center (SECC) of the Information Technology Industry Development Agency (ITIDA) held a specialized panel discussion on the software testing industry in Egypt, on May 23 at Sultan Hussein Kamel Palace in Cairo.

SECC experts and a group of specialists from relevant companies discussed the most significant current trends in the software testing industry, the most significant training requirements and needs on which the industry is based, and the role of companies in this area.

Moreover, the discussion featured a questionnaire that was aimed at developing the services provided by ITIDA to companies and individuals.

In 2001, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) established SECC to boost the software industry in Egypt by improving software engineering practices to achieve a strong presence in the global market. SECC provides leading technology services that enhance the efficiency of IT companies and improve their internal capabilities. The Center focuses on setting industry standards by organizing a series of workshops and training courses that will enable those companies to assimilate and implement modern technology.
