Logo of the Official US List of Certified TestersThis test team staffing guide was created by the American Software Testing Qualifications Board. As the non-profit organization that leads ISTQB software tester certification in the U.S., we can help you with questions such as:

  • How can we improve our software development ROI?
  • How do we implement risk-based testing to protect our reputation?
  • How can we retain software testers in this competitive employment environment?

This is part of our mission of promoting software quality in the United States. That’s also why we offer the Official U.S. List of Certified Software Testers™ along with our official ISTQB exam provider AT*SQA. When you choose a tester from our list, it gives you greater confidence that your testers have shared testing principles and the ability to communicate well with your American software quality teams.
