ISTQB Certification

The ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) was founded in Edinburgh in November 2002. The EOQ-SG (European Organisation for Quality – Software Group) is the legal entity acting as the umbrella organization for the ISTQB.

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.

ISTQB certification currently consists of 2 levels of certification. The 2 levels of examination currently operational are the (a) Foundation Level, and, (b) Advanced Level.

While the Foundation Level certification requires the aspirants to successfully qualify in a single exam, the Advanced Level certification consists of 3 exams. These are (a) Test Analyst, (b) Technical Test Analyst, and (c) Test Manager.

Foundation Level Syllabus:
  a. Basics of Software testing
  b. Life Cycle Testing
  c. Dynamic Test
  d. Static Test
  e. Test Management
  f. Testing Tools

Advanced Level Syllabus:
  a. Test Process
  b. Basics of Software Testing
  c. Test Management
  d. Risk Oriented Testing
  e. Test Techniques
  f. Reviews
  g. Deviation Management
  h. Test Process Improvement
  i. Test Tools
  j. Team Composition

Comment by Shadaab Qureshi on December 13, 2011 at 9:11pm: The questions are more tricky in the latest exams but has the same theory
Dont go for latest papers
Also the samples i hv sent is jus for help
The questions r lot complex in latest exams
Hnce analyse the theory well as 10 questions are like case studies like testing used in companies and best option to choose in d given scenario

Most importantly time is not a constraint
If ur through enough u tk exactly 30 mins to complete
If ur not through u tk 60 mins, whereas the exam has 75 mins
Concentrate on readin questions carefully n analyze all 4 options carefully
Step 1 Read the queastion twice and
Step 2 Read all 4 options thrice

Comment by Shadaab Qureshi on December 8, 2011 at 12:27pm: The answer to the question 20 in ISTQB Mock test 5 above is wrong

Ques. In a review meeting moderator is a person who

Ans. mediates between people

Comment by Mahalakshmi Devi on December 7, 2011 at 10:26am: I find the answers provided in the quiz are contracicting for e.g Mock Test 1 - for one of the question the answer was stated as "Mediates between the two" but the same question in the later test it has been stated as "who prepared the document" question - person participate in the audit as middled man. I request the moderatorof the quality testing site to check and update the proper answers as we should not guide anyone wrongly
