It brings me immense pride and joy to witness my students receiving their certificates under the EDGE (Enhancing Digital Government and Economy) project. As the Software Testing Trainer, I had the honor of mentoring a group of talented, driven individuals who embraced the learning process with dedication and passion.
🎯 About the EDGE Project
The EDGE project, led by the Government of Bangladesh with support from development partners, focuses on building digital capacity across the country. Under its “Digital Skills for Students” component, the program trains youth in areas such as:
- ICT Fundamentals
- Cyber Hygiene
- Software Development
- Software Testing and Quality Assurance
- Professional Communication
My role specifically focused on introducing and mentoring students in Software Testing — a vital part of the modern software development life cycle.
👨🏫 My Experience as a Trainer
Working with these students was a rewarding experience. Over the course of the program, we covered:
- Testing fundamentals (manual & automated)
- Test case design and execution
- Bug tracking and reporting using real-world tools
- Introduction to tools like Selenium and JIRA
- Software Quality principles and agile practices
Their eagerness to learn and apply these concepts was truly inspiring.

The photo above captures the spirit of success. Two of my students are seated in the front, proudly displaying their certificates, while the rest of the group — filled with mentors, peers, and proud faces — stands behind them. This isn’t just a group photo; it’s a snapshot of growth, commitment, and transformation.
💬 A Trainer’s Message
“To see my students recognized for their hard work under a nationally significant program like EDGE is one of the most fulfilling moments of my teaching journey. These young minds are now better equipped to contribute meaningfully to the software industry.”
I deeply appreciate the efforts of the EDGE project coordination team, fellow trainers, and all who made this program successful.
🚀 Looking Ahead
This is just the beginning for these students. With a strong foundation in Software Testing, I am confident they will thrive in the global tech ecosystem — contributing to quality-driven development across borders and industries.
