• Highlighting the importance and benefits of software testing certification schemes
• Experimentus promotes industry international standard – ISTQB

Geoff Thompson, Director at Experimentus, the UK software quality management consultancy, highlights the value of testing qualifications at today’s SQC Conference.
The Software and Systems Quality Conference (‘SQC’), in Dusseldorf, is Europe’s leading international conference on software quality management, testing and process optimisation.
The Experimentus specialist presentation will focus on the importance of software testing certification schemes and the role of the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB).

As UK Testing Board Chair and UK ISTQB representative, Geoff Thompson, will comment on ISTQB’s work across Europe, the ISTQB syllabi which he is directly involved in managing and formulating and how to date over 60,000 IT professionals hold the foundation’s exam.
Mr Thompson wants the IT industry to understand the importance of testing qualifications and how: “The ISTQB syllabi and exam offers high quality training, recognition of ability and competence, assists with professional career development and sets an industry standard.”

The Experimentus presentation will also focus on the benefits of internationalisation and the various software testing certification schemes currently available across the world. Global recognition will enable qualified testers to move across country borders more easily and international projects will have a common understanding of testing issues.
Experimentus as a company is dedicated to raising industry wide awareness of the importance of testing and testing qualifications and how this ultimately benefits clients.
