What is ISTQB Certification ?

 
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 define and maintain all aspects of the ISTQB Certified Tester scheme such as core syllabi, examination structure, regulations, and certification guidelines.
• To ensure that each successful participant receive the "ISTQB Certified Tester" certificate (or the local variant with the added "ISTQB compliant" logo).
• To promote testing as a profession, increase the number of qualified testers, and develop a common body of understanding and knowledge about testing, through the syllabus & terminology.
•  To approve, monitor compliance, or expel national boards.
