Due to
the increasing complexity of modern software development
projects it is essential that QA/Testers are certified.
Whereas, many employees are shifted into QA positions from
programming or other areas in development or just a change of
work duties. We have found that in a number of cases there has
been a vague understanding of the QA/ Testing Process, and
often a lack of the SDLC comprehension tools that are
necessary for productive software testing.
It is
vital for any company that their QA Team possess a thorough
understanding of the ‘Software Development Process’, and how
it fits into the business approach and goals of the
organization. Therefore, without the pertinent knowledge and
training through QA/Tester certifications the process cannot
be completely thorough.
Software
testing to any company's reputation is bottom-line and without
having QA/Testers certified the product released cannot
receive top-notched approval from the customer. This could
possibly result in costing the company billions of dollars.
Ultimately, for a top notch product, you need
QA/Testing certified professionals involved in the development
process.
It is
critical to any product's success to have trained and
certified professionals on your QA Team.
The
Certified Tester Professional certification program
can provide focused career training,
skill development
essential to handling the most complex software projects,
and
skill development for working professionals. In addition, the
program focuses on workplace processes and procedures that are
related to structured and unstructured development settings.
If you are
exploring new career opportunities or want to stay current in
your field, certification programs can provide focused career
training and skill development for working professionals, and
recent college graduates. Our certification programs are
