3 Ways Performance Testing Helps Your Career


Performance testing is now vital due to the rapid growth of AI, IoT, mobile, and wearable devices. That's why ISTQB Performance Testing Certification from ASTQB can boost your career in three ways:
  1. You'll be the go-to person. Your company needs key QA staff who understand performance testing. ISTQB Performance Testing Certification proves you have this important testing knowledge.
     
  2. Your knowledge will be more valuable year after year. Performance testing is growing as technology evolves, and appreciation for your knowledge will grow, too. 
     
  3. You can get up to speed more quickly. Performance testing is a natural step after your ISTQB Foundation Level certification. That's why the ASTQB software testing career path helps you build your career now and for years to come.
If you're not familiar with performance testing, it refers to testing focused on the performance (responsiveness) of the system or component under different volumes of load. This includes load testing, stress testing, and others. All are becoming critically important as AI and other technologies grow.

If you don't have performance testing knowledge, you are limiting your career options. Get started on ASTQB's ISTQB Performance Testing Certification today! Do you want an easy first step that will help you prepare for the certification? Then start with AT*SQA's Performance Testing Micro-credential and follow it with the certification.
