We have come a long way from the days when software testing was done by developers themselves. Now, apart from software testing being recognized as a separate profession in itself, we also have specialization streams within testing. The right proportionate mix of testing, technology and domain skills have brought about this change.

These streams are and will be increasingly more in demand and depending upon the area of interest, a testing practitioner can choose his specialization. This session seeks to provide an overview on specialization streams with special emphasis on Compliance testing, specifically the PCI DSS.
