As a Part of Software Qualification Program, a Number of Authorized Testing Centers Have been Established in China, Distributed Throughout the Country, to Provide Third Party Testing Services Required

China Software Testing Center (CSTC) is the First SW Testing Center in China Approved By China National Accreditation Board of Laboratories (CNAL). So far It Has Certified 5000+ Products, and Served for Acceptance Testing and Auditing of Hundred Information System Projects

At Shanghai, There Are Two Software Testing Centers (SSTC), Also Approved By the CNAL, As Branch Center of CSTC to Provide Local Services For Software Testing

So far there are 8 SW Testing Centers Approved By CNAL. The Total Number is Close To 30.

Chinese software enterprises rush to ISO9000 and CMM-based SPI – A new hot spot

Government even promised to provide subsidy to CMM certification (Up To 50%)

So far in Shanghai 200 SW companies got ISO9000 certificate, 32 CMM Level 3, 4 CMM Level 4, 5 CMM Level5 and 1 CMMI Level 5 – A Significant Progress

Based on such essential cognition of that future economic competition is, in the end, the competence race of human resource, especially in the software professionals

High qualified human resource development has been listed as a national strategic task and an important measure for that

The CPC Political Bureau has put forward the state strategy “Strengthen The Country By Talents” in 2003

It calls for to better train and utilize talented professionals, and to foster a batch of high rank experts who are competent to the needs of socialist modernization And reformation and opening policy

Now there are common consensus in the whole country: “S&T Is The First Productive Force” and “Talents Are The First Resource”

In the State Next (11th) 5 years plan, a key issue listed is how to ‘Construct the IT Talents Highland’

ASTI Human Factor In SPIHuman Factor In SPIHuman Factor In SPIHuman Factor In SPI

The human factor is the most influential in any successful project

Experiences show that nine system failures out of ten, it's the human factor

Software process is mastered by people with proper knowledge and skills

Needs right people playing right roles Total System Maturity: People + Process To shift the organizational paradigm from "individual

knowledge is power" to "collective knowledge is a competitive advantage"

Employees who actively participated in the knowledge-generating community will be more valued and more visible

Although China’s IT/SW industry is still in their infancy age, It is demanded to be mature more quickly

IT/SE professionalism has became a global trend

Earlier awareness for that is favorable for us to implement a jump development and aim at a high target at HRD

SE Code Of Ethics and Professional Practice Standard SE Code Of Ethics and Professional Practice Standard

We have translated the IEEE-CS/ACM SE Code of Ethics and Professional Practice version 5.2 into Chinese, which has been determined as the Chinese version of the standard after reviewed by the international committee

The Shanghai Software Industry Association (SSIA) has being spread it over Shanghai SE community

It is considered as a crucial step towards a mature SE professionals My company – ASTI Shanghai is the first software company in China to follow this Code of Ethics standard. As a return, it is promised to use the standard logo

on their documents released

As a technology transfer center and bridge linking IT community, ASTI has developed a IT resource website called “IT Source”, supported by local government

It contains rich technology resources and provides one-stop service ( link 25,000 URLs and more than 2,560 IT resource web sites in the world), covering many hot spots such as SE technologies, e-Business, new IT technologies, outsourcing, IT professional development etc.

It has became one of the most attractive IT websites in China, hit rate exceeds 5.0M and has 40,000 + members

Mr. Steve McConnell wrote a special preface for IT Source admired it as a real demo of ‘Open Knowledge’

As a public service platform, it is planned to provide new consulting services like Virtual CTO/CIO

CSDP – A Key Step Towards Our TargetCSDP – A Key Step Towards Our Target

IEEE-CS CSDP is a high-standard international training/certificate program for SE professionals,

which is based on SWEBOK & PMBOK and neutral to any specific company

It conforms totally to our target and mission. We will do our best to promote CSDP into China

We have a team of qualified SE experts to support the CSDP implementation in China

SSIA and SCS will cooperate closely with IEEE-CS for this purpose Our CSDP/SWEBOK-Based Training Materials have been submitted

to the International Training Committee for Review and has been recognized as a qualified training center (1st in China and 4th in the world)

Now, the advance is sounding like today !

ASTI Guided By High Standard BOKsGuided By High Standard BOKsGuided By High Standard BOKsGuided By High Standard BOKs

To match the international high standard in training, we demand all training courseware developed will based on related Body of knowledge (BOKs)

They are considered as a guidance and objective criteria for high quality training to reach scientific and systematic structure & contents

ASTI Development Of The BOKsDevelopment Of The BOKsDevelopment Of The BOKsDevelopment Of The BOKs

In SE domain, we recommended to directly rely on the well-known standards, like SWEBOK and PMBOK

For the IT domain, there are many existing BOKs developed by different institutes. We will integrate their merits into an united version (IBOK), based on the specific needs of China’s informatization practices

For NPD domain, supported by Shanghai Science commission, our ASTI has finished a research project on developing the Body of Knowledge for New Product Development (NPDBOK) which integrated and expanded DRM’s and SCPD’s similar works

As the action plan of “Prospering City By Science & Technology and Education”, this work was merged into a more magnificent project to develop a BOK for CTO. Now the version 3 of CTO BOK has worked out by a task force. The Shanghai government has announced an official certificate program for CTO, based on that CTO BOK.

ASTI Certificate Programs IntroducedCertificate Programs IntroducedCertificate Programs IntroducedCertificate Programs Introduced

Taking as a concerted action, we have introduced six certificate programs so far, three international and three domestic

PMI’s PMP since 2000. In 2005 It is estimated Near 10000 Chinese will get the PMP Certificates

Cooperating With IEEE-CS, SSIA is jointly promoting the CSDP Certificate an SWEBOK-based SE training into China

Another initiative is cooperate with UMTP, Japan to promote software modeling technique and UML as a future common standard between Asian SE communities

Three other certificate program are sponsored by Shanghai government since 2003, they are respectively: Software Quality and Testing Engineers (CSQE/CSTE BOK based), CTOs and CIOs

SSIA acts as a crucial and active role in developing related BOKs and training programs

To be introduced: QAI’s CSQA/CSTE, iSQI’s , Japan IPA’s JITEC
