"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."
Mike Gayle, CSDP, Senior Manager, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems

"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."
Steve Tockey, CSDP, Principal Consultant, Construx Software
 
"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."

"The Boeing Software Functional office supports the certifications and recognizes the certifications as a way to ensure a sound software engineering foundation which results in a more efficient and competitive workforce providing higher quality software."
Pierce Gibbs, CSDP, Primary Software Architect, Boeing IDS

"I could not think of a better way to bolster my credentials and help set myself apart than through the CSDP certification. Earning the right to advertise the credential clearly demonstrates my dedication and enthusiasm for our profession.
Gary Kuehn, CSDP, Director of Application Development, Barclays Capital

"The CSDP helps to standardize the important issues for software development professionals and it reinforces the message that software professionals should have a broad understanding of the software engineering knowledge areas as a whole"
Oscar Mondragon, CSDP, European Software Institute Center, Mexico

"Having the CSDP has helped me to structure our Master of Software Engineering program, specifically in curriculum development and building comprehensive exams. Overall, the CSDP helps advance software as a profession, and I think it has more impact than product-specific certifications like those offered by Cisco and Microsoft."
Peter Knoke, CSDP, Associate Professor of Computer Science and Software Engineering, University of Alaska
