PLATO Testing

PLATO is Canada's leading independent solutions provider of software testing and technology services.

PLATO is an incorporated software testing company that is currently owned by PQA. PQA Testing developed and launched a six month tester training program that consisted of four months of classroom/lab work and a two month internship. The Aboriginal software testing training program provides trainees with the opportunity to find a passion for software testing in an industry setting and to qualify as

entry level software testers with referenceable work experience. Aboriginal communities are the youngest and fastest growing demographic in Canada and are chronically under-employed. Having software testers that are trained and employed in Canada supports our economy by bringing revenue to our provinces. Further, software testing lends itself to working remotely, which creates opportunities to work within Aboriginal communities while servicing clients globally. The goal is for PLATO to be Aboriginally-owned, led and staffed, and ultimately, reach Aboriginal communities nationwide. There is tremendous potential to expand within Aboriginal communities, as well as rural communities in general, and create even more jobs in the future.

Ever heard of someone born on February 45th? 👀

For users with visual impairments, bugs like this can slip through without any obvious warning — making software seem “fine” when it isn’t.

Accessibility isn’t an add-on. It’s a responsibility.

When you build with inclusion from the start, you build something better for everyone.
