BCS and UKTB sign agreement for Software accreditation and certification |
Testing Board to become the preferred supplier for the Institute's software testing exams.
BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, has signed an agreement with the UK Testing Board (UKTB) to promote and support Software testing accreditation and certification internationally together.
UKTB will become the preferred supplier for the Institute’s software testing exams at Foundation and Advanced levels, in accordance with the international ISTQB program and the Institute working more closely with an increasing number of ISTQB boards around the world.
Internationally, software testing exams are currently available at a number of different entry points from Foundation to Advanced, with the Institute’s Intermediate exam providing a valuable optional route between the two levels. For those professionals looking for certification beyond Advanced level, ISTQB will be providing its Expert level exam.
Geoff Thompson, Chairman of the UKTB said: "This is an exciting step forward for the software testing community which is central to the IT profession."
