ISTQB

The ISTQB scheme provides support for the definition of career paths for professional testers by offering a 3-tiered certification scheme starting with the Foundation Level and continuing with the Advanced Level and Expert Level.

The Foundation Level syllabus has an add-on, which is the Agile Tester syllabus, and this ISTQB Agile track continues with further specialized topics within the ISTQB Specialist track, e.g. the Model-Based Tester syllabus.

ISTQB - Foundation level

The Foundation Level qualification is aimed at anyone involved in software testing. This includes people in roles such as testers, test analysts, test engineers, test consultants, test managers, user acceptance testers, and software developers. 

This Foundation Level qualification is also appropriate for anyone who wants a basic understanding of software testing, such as product owners, project managers, quality managers, software development managers, business analysts, IT directors and management consultants.

Holders of the Foundation Certificate will be able to go on to higher-level software testing certifications.
