Jean-Michel Dedobbeleer, Exxon
"SDT developed customized software testing courses for our
development/test team and management. Everyone appreciated the
instructor's
presentation skills, energy and enthusiasm; he was able to increase buy-in
to new ideas that were highly controversial among the attendees. The
instructor proved to be a good listener to the concerns of the technical
and
functional analysts and conveyed the right messages to management to
initiate change."

this course. Even veterans in the field come to realize they have a lot to
learn! It opens one's eyes to a quality testing approach. Edward Kit is an
experienced, interesting speaker. His insight is exceptional. The track he
took down could be applied to each participant's business situation. Thank
you an enlightening experience. I can't wait to apply at my company what
I've learned."
