Happy International Women’s Day! Today, as we celebrate the achievements of women around the world, we can’t help but reflect on gender diversity in our very own software testing industry.

In recent years, the tech industry has taken steps to make software testing a more attractive career option for women. Initiatives such as mentoring programs, networking events, and inclusive work environments have played a significant role in breaking down the barriers for women. However, despite these efforts, there is still a significant lack of representation and inequality facing women in this field. We need to continue striving towards this goal and take further action to create a more equitable and inclusive workplace for all.

Upon analyzing our statistics, we noticed a worrying trend in the past two years. Although the overall number of course participants has increased, the proportion of female participants has decreased.

Motivated by this concerning trend we want to take a small, but hopefully significant, step today towards closing the gender gap.

We’re offering a 50% discount on the registration fee for all women looking to join the Foundations class scheduled between March 17 and April 13, 2024.

If you are a woman and want to take advantage of this offer, follow these steps:

• Go to the Foundations course page and register for the Mar 17 – Apr 13, 2024 class.
• At checkout, use the discount code “50%women” to get 50% off the registration fee.

Once the purchase is made and the registration is marked as valid you’ll get access to one of the most eye-opening and in-depth online course on the fundamental concepts in software testing and its critical challenges.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your testing journey, we invite all our wonderful women testers to seize this opportunity and dive into the world of BBST® with a little extra incentive this March.
