What is ISTQB certification & how to pass it?

Lets talk about ISTQB today and what it is. I am sharing my personal tips & tricks on how to get it, why would you actually need to pass the certification and anything else I though might be useful to you guys as software testers or quality assurance engineers. Obviously there are other certifications in testing you can pass, but this one is very well known and I have two of them so here ya go!

Your very welcome 🥰

[@jesussson3467]

hello, love your content... there is so much information on the internet, can you specify exactly which websites/webpages to get info and print out on test managers to study

[@elsaqa]

Thank you so much! ☺️ Oh yes here it is: www.istqb.org/certifications/test-manager

Hello miss Else i hope you can make a video on how to apply for the exam. I hope you can read this. Congrats about passing the exam ! 🎉

[@elsaqa]

Of course, will add it to my list :)

[@rileystein6195]

The foundation level exam was really difficult for me to pass and has yet to help me get a job. 😔

[@elsaqa]

Yes, I passed only on the second try haha. The thing is it may not be straight up the reason you get the job, but there have been cases for me personally as I mentioned where they wanted me only because of the certificate. The important thing is that you understand and know how to apply the fundamentals and what else to check when testing. Fingers crossed you land something soon!

Be careful, or James Bach will be summoned to this comment section

[@SirLallington]

Yeah he hates ISTQB - money grabbing organisation 😅

[@elsaqa]

Haha I ain’t scared 😄well everything i say is informational and a lot of it is based on what I have seen been done in the industry. Of course it can all be subjective, but everyone can make their own informative choices - reading is free😊

Hi Elsa, I'm a QA Engineer from India, what you think about AGI it will take over the QA Jobs? Can you create a detailed video?

[@elsaqa]

Thank you! You know what. That is a good idea! I will make a video on it ☺️

[@SarahYang163]

Looking forward it！😀

[@kahlert1]

is the test timed or was just how long it took you?

[@elsaqa]

Yes the test is timed. The first one - foundation level- took 60 minutes and the advanced one was 180 minutes.

Hi elsa, Do you have an ISTQB community?

[@elsaqa]

Hey. I do not. I will soon have a QA community though 😊

[@user-bs2uy9wh8e]

Did you opt extra time at exam as non English speaker, is it helpful taking extra time at exam

[@elsaqa]

They did not give me extra time no, would have been great though 😅
