Wirral, United Kingdom, July 16, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Education and Support Initiatives Establish Leadership of LDRA India Office in Standards-Driven Safety and Security Sectors

LDRA, the leading provider of automated software verification, source code analysis, and test tools, celebrates three years of growth and successful leadership by its Bangalore, India, office. With education and support-based initiatives, LDRA India has helped train and equip safety and security professionals with the expertise needed by local industries that often serve larger global accounts. This alliance has secured LDRA’s place as a trusted partner committed to overall industry development in India. It has also spurred LDRA India’s growth and the need for additional offices in Delhi and Hyderabad.

In its commitment to local industry, LDRA India has launched the Academic Alliance Program, a university-level training program that adapts LDRA’s 40 years of best-practice software development and test expertise to the unique needs of Indian industry. LDRA India actively assists in creating university faculty development programs, syllabus preparation, and hands-on labs that demonstrate the fundamentals of requirements definition and management, best-coding practice, code analysis, test, and application of industry standards—all disciplines needed by the global safety- and security-critical players with local offices in India. Building upon this, professors and students are also linked to LDRA clients for work and internship opportunities.

“An increased focus on certification is driving software modernization in India,” noted Shinto Joseph, Operations and Sales Director of LDRA India. “Local industries are increasingly expected to fulfill certification requirements. Backed by our global team and the Designated Engineering Representative expertise of LDRA Certification Services, we look forward to building indigenous certification capabilities within India.”

LDRA Promotes Development through Gold Sponsorship of ESC India and Conference Talks

To further best programming practices and certification fundamentals, LDRA—a gold sponsor of ESC India 2013—will demonstrate to developers how software development and test begins with requirements definition and management and links them through all stages of software development.

Training to Expand into Other Sectors

LDRA also plans to broaden these initial avionics courses tailored for other industries as well.

“Thanks to its ‘gold standard’ in safety-critical certification, avionics has by far the most mature software quality standards,” confirmed Ian Hennell, LDRA Operations Director. “Other industries such as rail, medical, industrial, and automotive increasingly recognize that quality code reduces risk, improves maintainability, and returns higher profitability for a company. We will extend the support, educational outreach, and expertise of the LDRA India team into these industries, developing and adapting course materials and best practices for the unique needs of India’s engineers.”
