ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board), responsible for conducting the ISTQB certification exam, was officially founded in Edinburgh in November 2002 and is represented by respective national testing boards in dissimilar fellow member countries. Presently (as of January 2009), 41 national testing boards are members of ISTQB and are responsible for conducting the corroboration exam in their respective countries. ISTQB corroboration presently comprises of 2 levels of certification, with the 3rd level presently underneath planning. The 2 levels of examination presently operational are the (a) Foundation Level, and, (b) Advanced Level. The syllabi for exams at these levels are available at the website of ISTQB (istqb.org/download.htm). Besides, the standard glossary of terms applied in software testing available at this internetsite also forms an important element of the material to be understood in order to prepare efficaciously for these exams. While the Foundation Level certification requires the aspirants to with great success qualify in a single exam, the Advanced Level corroboration comprises of 3 exams. These are (a) Test Analyst, (b) Technical Test Analyst, and (c) Test Manager.
