The ISTQB was officially founded as an International Software Testing Qualifications Board in Edinburgh in November 2002.
The main aims, tasks, and responsibilities of the ISTQB are:

- To ensure that each successful participant receive the "ISTQB Certified Tester" certificate (or the local variant with the added "ISTQB compliant" logo).
