ISEB Statement

The ISEB provides the following statement on the Examination Candidate Profile:

"ISEB Foundation Certificate in Software Testing:
This qualification is for:

• Those who wish to demonstrate that they have a basic knowledge of software testing fundamental principles and terminology

• those who have at least a minimal background in either software development or software testing, such as

• a few months experience as a system or user acceptance tester

• a few months experience as a software developer

• managers who wish to understand software testing better

• those who have studied some computer science, programming or testing at A level or beyond

• those who are prepared to work hard to assimilate the information required to pass the exam

This qualification is not for:

• those completely new to computers

• those wishing to start a career in software or testing, without any previous
  background or experience
  If you are completely new to software testing, it is recommended that you start with a one-day overview of testing and then gain a few months' experience before attempting this qualification. Many of the training providers listed on the ISEB web site also provide such introductory courses.

  The course leading to the Foundation Certificate is fairly intensive, as there are a lot of topics to cover from the Foundation Syllabus. Potential attendees should be aware that there is a lot of terminology and facts that need to be learned in order to pass the exam."

If you are not yet ready to take the ISEB Foundation Certificate in Software Testing course, IE Testing Consultancy Ltd suggests you consider one of our introductory courses. These are available as In-house training or look at our Events page for suitable public seminars.
