Survey of Certified ISTQB Software Testers Indicates That 92% Find Certification Demonstrates Competency
Tampa, FL, May 19, 2010 --(PR.com)-- 92% of ISTQB certified software testers feel that certification helps to demonstrate professional competency. An equal percentage also feel that certification aids in gaining professional recognition.
The results come from a survey of 219 certified software testers by the American Software Testing Qualifications Board (ASTQB).
"ISTQB software tester certification is designed to demonstrate that a tester has the knowledge and skills needed for their everyday software testing challenges. This practical nature may be the reason testers feel that certification helps them demonstrate their professional competency," said Patricia McQuaid, President of the non-profit U.S. board for ISTQB software tester certification, ASTQB.
"We're pleased that ISTQB certified testers also find that certification helps them to gain professional recognition," continued McQuaid. "We believe that stems directly from the credibility of ISTQB certification, as it was developed by more than 100 global software testing experts, is offered in 47 countries, and is the world's most popular software tester certification."
