ISTQB 🧙🏻‍♀️The software testing Myth, do you need that?

To have or not to have ISTQB CTFL certification is always a myth to most of the software tester.

The main reason I guess is most software tester are very good at testing the software without realizing “Testing” is only part of the whole software testing life cycle.

Can’t denied that ISTQB is setting the benchmark on the minimal requirement of a software tester need to have, and I think ISTQB is more like a standard for every software tester to have the same definition and understanding of the terminology of software testing, regardless of the person experience level or career background.

For example, this could be achieve when every tester have the same definition, term acceptance criteria , and glossary that may be use to description the situation when finding a problem in the piece of software.

Hence, in my opinion, it’s always good to have ISTQB-Foundation Level Certification in your pocket. This could give you a very good head start in the software testing industry.
