Managers: Keep Your Software Out of the Headlines® and protect your career. Instead of hiring more testers, raise the output and consistency of your team with ISTQB certification from ASTQB and its official exam provider AT*SQA.

Standardize how your teams work.

  • ISTQB Foundation Level gives all the testers on your team the same testing vocabulary and baseline skills, which reduces friction. As one Fortune 500 Director said: “I use the CTFL [ISTQB Foundation Level] syllabus to ensure common vocabulary and skills across multiple disparate teams.” Additionally, verifying that candidates and contractors appear on the Official U.S. List of Certified & Credentialed Software Testers™ proves they registered for and passed the U.S. ISTQB exam in American English, ensuring your team will be able to communicate well.

Protect your company

  • Increase quality and speed with the people you have. Formal testing by certified personnel has been shown to achieve up to 99% defect removal efficiency, while testing performed only by developers typically detects fewer than 35% of defects. Post-release defects often cost $4,000 to $5,000 each, so preventing even one can more than pay for your team’s ISTQB exams.

Retain key talent and avoid churn

  • The American Psychological Association reports that without supervisor support for career development, more than half of employees are less motivated and likely to look elsewhere within a year. A clear ISTQB pathway (Foundation, Advanced, Expert, plus specialties such as Agile, Mobile, Security, and Test Automation) keeps senior testers engaged and new hires ramping quickly. ISTQB certification will improve your employees’ skills while also keeping retention up.
