TestingPro

Neurodiverse talent as a keydriver of better software quality

TestingPro is an international program that trains and integrates neurodivergent individuals for software testing roles.

Nagarro plays a pivotal role by bringing deep expertise in quality engineering, project delivery excellence, and hands‑on mentoring which is strengthened further through collaboration with specialized partners. Together, these capabilities help companies achieve measurable quality gains, build stable and high‑performing QA teams, and unlock sustainable talent pipelines.

The tech industry is grappling with an shortage of skilled professionals, while unemployment among neurodivergent individuals remains disproportionately high- not due to lack of capability, but because conventional hiring processes overlook the very strengths that make them exceptional testers. TestingPro directly bridges this gap, transforming overlooked potential into industry‑ready excellence and enabling organizations to benefit from rare cognitive strengths.

Why neurodivergent individuals often excel in software testing

Software testing requires precision, analytical thinking, and perseverance.
Our experience shows that many people on the autism spectrum bring strengths that are particularly well suited to this field. These abilities make neurodiverse testers a true professional asset for QA and delivery teams.
