testing certifications

Hi maruthi.rvj,

Welcome to the forum. Following describes about the ISTQB certification.

There are lot of advantages if you hold certification in ISTQB. ISTQB is providing certifications in two levels - foundation and advanced level.

To start off with you can apply for foundation level. Today most of the top tire companies when they recruit software test engineers they look for whether the candidate hold either CSTE or ISTQB certification. For writing the examination you can register in the <a href='http://208.116.30.129/'>[B][I]ISTQB[/I][/B]</a> website where you can find the syllabus for both the levels. If you work for any organisation and you write and clear the exam you can reimburse the amount which you paid as fees (Rs. 4000 for foundation level and most of the companies will reimburse). For writing this exam you should have very good knowledge of testing process, procedures, standards, metholodogies, types of testing, CMMI standards, Risk validation techniques etc.,

All the best for the preperation to write ISTQB.
