Back in 2006 I studied for the ISTQB Foundation Level testing certificate. Fortunately the company I was working for at that time paid for my course, which included some instructor led training. This training included ISTQB mock exam questions<\/a> that helped me prepare.<\/p>\n

Back then it would of been good to read a few books to help me prepare. There are now quite a few good books available on this topic, which I will review for you today. <\/p>\n

Nowadays, we live in a world where everyone has a tight schedule and we have forgotten to dedicate some time for personal growth, whether you are a working professional or seeking a testing apprenticeship<\/a>. Just like a healthy balanced diet and exercise are important to our bodies, reading and acquiring knowledge is crucial to our profession.<\/p>\n

Therefore, find some time and improve your skills; it will take you to the next level. Don’t say you don’t have time. Everyone has 24 hours; the difference is how we manage it.<\/p>\n

What is the ISTQB Foundation Certification?<\/h2>\n

ISTQB stands for the International Software Testing Qualification Board.  It is an international software testing organisation with local exam providers.<\/p>\n

Each local testing examiner is licensed to issue exams both locally and internationally. A candidate who passes the exam receives an ISTQB certified tester certificate.<\/p>\n

ISTQB is found in seventy nations but the names of each Member Board changes from one country to another. For instance, the member board in the United States is known as the American Software Testing Qualification Board (ASTQB) while in India it is Indian Testing Board (ITB). Nevertheless, the exam syllabus, pattern, questions among other details are the same.<\/p>\n
