Finding the Right Software Testing Strategy for your Business. Software testing is an important process that is all part of the process of developing software. Any companies that neglect this process and the quality control standards that are involved can destroy the reputation of your company and your brand. It can also result in the waste of the entire amount of money that you spent on your project costs. Having a test plan is a necessary aspect of project documentation.

What is the difference between ISTQB and ASTQB?

ASTQB is the country board for ISTQB Software Tester Certification in the U.S. These board members are a group of highly experienced experts in software testing who volunteer their time to the development, maintenance, and promotion of the certification in this country. ISTQB is the International Software Testing Qualifications Board that is composed of representatives from each national board, such as the ASTQB. The ISTQB decides on the global standards for certification. The result is that you are able to earn a truly global software tester certification, but do so via a country board that understands the language and logistics needs of your country. What is ASTQB? ASTQB was founded in 2003 as the American Testing Board. In April 2005, the name was changed to the American Software Testing Qualifications Board. Through the involvement of the world’s foremost experts in software testing, the program was developed for software professionals who want to prepare today’s professionals
