17. What Companies are Saying
Mike Gayle, Senior Manager, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems:
“The CS Certifications are valuable to have in these times of increased
competition and global markets. The CSDA and CSDP are a means to
increasing the professionalism of a software engineering staff, allowing for
greater commonality in training of software engineers, and possibly
leading to an enhanced reputation in the industry."
Raghu Nambiar, General Manager, Siemens Information Systems Ltd
“We selected the CSDA and CSDP as the benchmark for software
certifications at Siemens as they will help raise the level of competence in
our organization.”
Tori Wenger, Sr. Engineering Manager, Rockwell Collins
"The CSDA is effective as a graduating tool for several reasons. It gives
students who take the exam an industry benchmark by which to measure
their education progress.”
17

18. What Professionals are Saying
Steve Tockey, Principal Consultant, Construx Software
“I’ve been on more than one software project that delivered complex
software with fewer defects than some of the best commercial software
products and was finished early and under budget. It's not a fluke, it's
simply applying the kinds of skills and knowledge embodied in the CSDP
and SWEBOK Guide.”
Sekhar Vadari, Tata Consultancy Services
“CSDP is the professional standard that many covet and only the best
achieve. Earning this designation indicates a professional level of
competence in ‘doing software right' and a greater acceptance as a
management advisor.”
Rajeev Shakar, CSDP candidate
“There is no other certification that comes close to the CSDP, which
demonstrates one's capability in the software development life cycle.”
