ISTQB Mission
•
The ISTQB was officially founded as an International Software Testing Qualifications
Board in Edinburgh in November 2002.
•
The ISTQB is responsible for the international qualification scheme called "ISTQB Certified
Tester". The qualifications are based on a syllabus, and there is a hierarchy of
qualifications and guidelines for accreditation and examination.
It is the ISTQB's role to support a single, universally accepted, international qualification
scheme, aimed at software and system testing professionals, by providing the core syllabi
and by setting guidelines for accreditation and examination for national boards.
The contents of each syllabus are taught as courses by training providers, which have
been accredited by national boards. They are globally marketed under the brand name
"ISTQB Certified Tester”
Each course is concluded by an examination covering the contents of the syllabus. After
the examination, each successful participant receives the "ISTQB Certified Tester"
certificate (or the local variant with the added "ISTQB compliant" logo).
The accreditation process and certification are regulated by accreditation and certification
regulations of the national boards in their various valid versions.
