Software Testing in the News: Protect Yourself

With software testing in the news, it's important to protect yourself and your company by adding this requirement to your software testing RFP: 
 

The testers involved in this project must appear on the Official U.S. List of Certified & Credentialed Software Testers (https://atsqa.org/certified-testers).


This requirement improves the effectiveness of your RFP through:

  • Enhanced Communication: Ensuring testers are proficient in American English facilitates better communication, quality documentation, and improved collaboration.
  • Skill Standardization: Maintaining a standard level of skills and knowledge among testers ensures consistent, high-quality work.
  • Quality Assurance: Testers on the certified list have passed at least one rigorous exam, predicting higher quality outcomes based on their ability to perform under pressure.
  • Trust and Reliability: Choosing certified and credentialed software testers builds greater trust and reliability, thanks to recognition by a globally recognized leader in testing certification.
  • Efficient Vendor Assessment: A simplified vendor assessment process saves time and makes it easier to shortlist qualified candidates.
  • Expertise Verification: Better than mere claims of knowledge, testers on this list have a credible confirmation of what they know.
  • Legal and Compliance Benefits: Working with certified professionals may aid in meeting legal or compliance requirements.
  • Stakeholder Confidence: Using certified testers boosts confidence among stakeholders, including clients and partners, by demonstrating adherence to industry-standard best practices.

Protect yourself and your company. Make sure your RFPs require that the testers involved in your project appear on the Official U.S. List of Certified & Credentialed Software Testers.

API Tester

Great for Your Career: API Testing

Our original API Testing Micro-Credential has been exceptionally popular because API testing is critical for organizations and great for testers' careers. Now we've made it even better with a new version and two additional API Testing Micro-Credentials. If you earn the entire AT*SkillStack™, you will also receive the new AT*SQA API Testing Certification at no additional charge!

Here are the three API Testing Micro-Credentials. We recommend you earn them in this order:

  1. API Testing: Introduction and Testing Planning and Design (this replaces the original API Testing Micro-Credential, so if you have already earned that, you can skip this new version)
  2. API Testing: REST API, gRPC, and graphQL
  3. API Testing: Environments, Tools, and Future Proofing

Why do you need to know API testing? Without APIs, most modern mobile and web applications cannot function. APIs are the bridge to functionality delivered by services and microservices, making API testing vital for ensuring application functionality, security, performance, and interoperability.

When you earn all three API Testing Micro-Credentials in our AT*SkillStack™, you will receive the AT*SQA API Testing Certification. Just contact the AT*SQA support team and we will update your account. This is a great way to build your Testing Tiers® level!

Normally $59, the API Testing micro-credentials are just $49 for a limited time. That includes up to two attempts at the exam.

Our AT*Learn training is just $7.99 per month, including modules for all of the new API Testing micro-credentials and 10+ other software testing micro-credentials!
