Why pursue certification?

ISTQB® is the leading global certification scheme in the field of software testing.

ISTQB® established, and continues to evolve, the internationally-recognized Certified Tester scheme which is a portfolio of certifications that develop, extend, and validate testing skills. The scheme is built around syllabi created by a global network of experts, the ISTQB® Glossary, sample exams, and the Testing Body of Knowledge (TBOK).


Certified Tester Scheme

The Certified Tester Foundation Level certification provides testing professionals with essential terminology and a breadth of knowledge. It is the prerequisite to the other modules within the scheme which offer depth and specialization.

  • The “Core” stream modules are valid for any technology/ methodology/ application domain and build on the Foundation Level.
  • The “Agile” stream focuses on testing practices specifically for the Agile methodology.
  • The “Specialist” stream provides a deep dive into areas which may be based on quality characteristics, specific test approaches and test activities, or which cluster testing know-how for certain industry domains.
