Why Testing Companies Choose ISTQB
As a software testing company, there are several reasons to choose ISTQB software testing certification:
- It maximizes your potential. Whether you are trying to appeal to a niche client or a global organization, ISTQB software testing certification is the best choice. As the world's most-used software testing certification, ISTQB is recognized in more than 30 countries, making it perfect for use both today and in the years to come.
- It could make you more competitive. While no certification can guarantee that your company will win the next contract, it certainly can’t hurt to hold credentials from a widely recognized testing certification program. If there were two equally-qualified companies for a project, and only one had ISTQB software testing certification, which company would you rather be?
- It gives you the flexibility to choose your education. We are strong believers in education. However, software testing certification should be about certifying your knowledge – not about selling you courses. That's why ISTQB doesn't require that you take courses from us. Instead, we freely give away the syllabus and glossary that cover the exam topics, and let you choose the education that works best for you. Take a course from an ASTQB accredited trainer, develop your own in-house seminars, create study groups, or self-study using books and websites – it's up to you.
For another perspective, you might find it helpful to read the article in Testing Experience magazine entitled "ISTQB Certification: Why You Need It and How to Get It."
