CERTIFICATION: Certified Software Test Professional (CSTP)



The International Institute for Software Testing (IIST) offers the Certified Software Test Professional (CSTP) certification. CSTP is an education-based certification, based on a Body of Knowledge that covers areas the most important software testing areas.
It was interesting to compare the information I found on this certification, with the previous ones I have written already. This certification is also for new testers, new to the testing field - the job requirement is at least one year of testing. The next requirement is studying - class attending and learning the course hte IIST provides. I like this - now, for me would be easier to learn in a class, not myself at home..
The graduation fee is $120, non-refundable.
The CSTP Body of Knowledge covers: priciples of software testing, test design, managing the testing process, test executions and bug tracking, area of requirements, test automation and static testing.
One more interesting thing is that CSTP Certification will expire 3 years after it was granted - everyone should be recertified then - update your knowledge. Good idea.
All action takes place in USA, although I liked one part in the website: IIST can offer any of its Software Testing courses at your site to maximize benefits and substantially reduce cost to your organization. well, for me would be difficult, but for the company in EU hope remains :)

Retrofitting testing - what is it?

It is nice to meet new terms and keywords relating testing. This morning I got a question how I am planning to do 'regression as part of Code Retrofitting testing'.   Have never heard of retrofitting testing before, so did some googling. The best explanation I found was on blog  http://blog.intrepidtesting.com/retrofit-vs-retest-vs-regression-testing/    article " Retrofit vs Retest vs Regression Testing " : Retrofit testing  is carried to to test that a change in functionality is correctly implemented for existing entities. Retrofit testing is more commonly carried out when you have an incremental project, or change requests. If the time available to test is tight, retesting and retrofit testing usually takes a higher priority over regression testing Colleague's comment while trying to help me: " if I googled it correctly then they expect you to perform regression for legacy system where your changes were introduced. In this way I would ...
