The verification and testing of software is constantly gaining in importance, and the stakes in safety-critical areas such as medicine and aviation are high. Therefore software testing experts from France have come together in the French Testing Board to develop and define standardized contents for training in software testing. The French Software Testing Board is part of the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB). The French Software Testing Board and the ISTQB are both internationally recognized, independent and non-profit organizations.

By becoming an ISTQB Certified Tester, you will distinguish yourself as someone who knows how to apply those software testing techniques. We have designed the Foundation and Advanced certification programs to help you identify yourself to your employers and customers as a true test professional: One who studies the field, applies fundamental and sophisticated test techniques, and understands the important issues. As as software test professional, you will be qualified to help project and technology managers make important decisions that balance quality, feature, schedule, and budget considerations. As a software test professional, you will be able to detect defects that others miss, and save your employers and customers from costly and embarrassing field failures.
