Get Ready for the Next Step Up: Test Management

Are You Ready for a Management Role?


With software testing in the news, it is clear that effective test management has never been more important.

If you are ready to step up to a leadership role, how do you do it? 

Consider these two questions: 
  • What do you need to know to move into test management?
  • How can you prove you are ready for promotion?
ISTQB Advanced Level Test Management certification is the answer to both questions. The syllabus (body of knowledge) tells you what you need to know, and passing the exam proves you are ready.
 
ISTQB Test Management is among the most popular certifications from ASTQB for a good reason: it helps you get promoted! 
 
Passing the exam proves you are ready, but it requires preparation. ASTQB has resources that can help you get ready for this next big step in your career: 
  • Get great tips from a veteran test manager in the ASTQB podcast, "10 Takeaways for Becoming and Being a Test Manager." It gives you decades of insight in just 30 minutes.
