The International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) is a software testing certification board that operates internationally. Founded in Edinburgh in November 2002, the ISTQB is a not for profit association legally registered in Belgium.
ISTQB membership comprises 66 National Testing Boards and a number of internationally recognized Examination Providers. Additionally, ISTQB has a network of over 300 Accredited Training Providers and approaching 250 members of the ISTQB Industry Partnership Program.
With this extensive network of Accredited Training Providers, Member Boards and Exam Providers, ISTQB has administered over 1 million exams and issued more than 750,000 certifications in over 130 countries.
ISTQB Certified Tester is a standardized qualification for software testers and is one of the biggest and most established vendor-neutral professional certification schemes in the world.
ISTQB qualifications are built on syllabi developed by ISTQB specialist development teams, to create a hierarchy of qualifications and guidelines for professional development and certification that support software testers throughout their careers in software testing and provide employers with the confidence of accreditations that are globally recognized.
The Certified Tester Foundation level underpins pathways to developing additional skills and certification through Test Analyst or Test Management, Agile Tester and Agile Test Leadership or into more specialist areas of testing (e.g. Test Automation, Security Testing, Performance etc).
ISTQB terminology (the “Glossary”) is the defacto language used in the field of software testing and connects professionals worldwide. The Glossary is coordinated and aligned with key industry organizations representing separate but related professional bodies, for example International Requirements Engineering Board (IREB), helping to promote a commonality of terminology across the industry.
