ISTQB Certified Tester

Insufficient testing or unqualified testers are frequently the root causes of poor quality software. In fact, the systematic use of solid test techniques is the exception rather than the rule in practical applications. The objective of the ISTQB® Certified Tester Program is to change this. All important testing topics are explained and simulated for training purposes. ISTQB® Certified Tester is a globally homogeneous program, and can be considered the benchmark for software testing certification. Hundreds of experts from more than 40 countries are continuously updating this program. Thanks to this close cooperation, international compatibility is always achieved. As a result, it is also possible to obtain certification as an ISTQB® Certified Tester in a wide variety of languages. At this time, GASQ offers certification at the Foundation Level in English, French, German, Polish and Russian. More than 500,000 software testers are now in possession of an ISTQB compliant certification – and the number continues to grow every day. The ISTQB® Certified Tester Program provides participants with the knowledge they need to test software effectively. Our program comprises three levels: Foundation Level, Advanced Level and Expert Level.

ISTQB Agile Tester

Agile testing is a relatively new approach to software testing that follows the principles of agile software development as outlined in the Agile Manifesto. A tester on an Agile project will work differently than one working on a traditional project. Testers must understand the values and principles that underpin Agile projects, and how testers are an integral part of a whole-team approach together with developers and business representatives. There is a lot of confusion concerning agile testing – which means there’s an educational opportunity as well. The Agile Tester certification will give the tester the knowledge to be a high-performing member of agile testing teams. Validity Once achieved, the ISTQB Agile Tester certification does not expire.
