What is Internationally Recogonized Software Testing Certification?

Answer 1

Testing is a Disciplined, Controlled Process

Testing software systems to make sure they perform as expected and to ensure their reliability is a very critical quality control activity. Unfortunately this critical activity is being performed on almost every software project in a very ad hoc, informal manner by developers, testers, and users. Informal surveys conducted by the International Institute for Software Testing during its seminars indicated that less than 1% of test professionals attending these seminars have used formal test design techniques to design their tests.

The testing phase in many software projects mostly goes without planning and test teams are unable to perform adequate testing. Software testers have been given very little training and guidance on how to perform effective testing. There is much for developers and test professionals to learn.



Education is the Only Way to Establish Testing as a Profession and Discipline

One of the most effective ways to establish a profession is education. That education must cover all areas of study that can serve the profession. Developing a Body of Knowledge (BOK) is an essential first step to establishing software testing as a profession and educating our testers. That Body of knowledge needs to be mastered by everyone who performs software testing. Education is the only way to establish testing as a discipline and to change the perception that it is an ad hoc activity that requires minimal training.
Education-Based Certification

The complexity of software systems and the demand of customers and users are increasing every day. With the current state of practice and lack of educated test teams, projects often are unable to perform adequate testing of software systems that control different aspects of our lives. In spite of all this, formal academic programs seldom provide even rudimentary coverage of software testing, let alone teaching it as a discipline.

To achieve this goal, in 1999, IIST took the lead in education-based certifications by forming an Advisory Board of industry experts and practitioners to provide direction to the effort of developing education-based certifications. The IIST Advisory Board strongly believes that the value of any certification program lies in its ability to meet individuals' diverse needs and interests for both breadth and depth of content so that it helps them improve the way they perform their job on a day to day basis.

To achieve this goal of education-based certifications, IIST now offers two certification programs that are based on well-defined Bodies of Knowledge approved by IIST's Advisory Board. To achieve a certification, a candidate must attend and pass an examination on each of ten (10) courses of the candidate's own choice, where each of the Body of Knowledge subject areas must be addressed by at least one course. The Advisory Board is agreed that such a model is vastly superior to certifications which are based only on passing a single one-size-fits-all examination, especially where passing the examination requires merely three days of training.
