 It seems like in a country like India, where buzzwords like Mainframe
computing, Retail Management, CRM, ERP..... are given more hype in
Students minds , where *testing* and *QA* jobs, and to an extent
*sys-ops* look  not so exciting for the students. Students mistake
TDD, for something boring. Infact testing esp. Open source code, is
much more exiciting, when you look at the quality of the code written,
its much much higer than its competitors.

There is lot of vaccum in the Linux Testing Industry, Many testing
tools but no good documentation :( . Its an opportunity of many
students to make their mark in the Linux Testing Industry.
