3 Ways to Protect Your Software QA Career
Are companies hiring or laying off staff? It doesn't matter, because you can protect your software QA career 3 ways:
- If you are currently employed as a software tester, it is time to become the most valuable employee by proving your testing knowledge. Follow these steps:
- If you don't have ISTQB Foundation Level, get it now. This is the most-requested software testing certification in company job postings at every experience level.
- If you already have ISTQB Foundation Level, then make it clear you're a cutting-edge tester by adding popular ISTQB certifications like ISTQB Agile Testing, ISTQB Test Analyst, ISTQB Test Manager, ISTQB Test Automation, and ISTQB AI Testing.
- Fill in smaller knowledge gaps with AT*SQA micro-credentials such as API Testing, DevOps Testing, or Testing Using the Cloud. You can earn all of the AT*SQA micro-credentials quickly. Bonus: AT*SQA micro-credentials build your Testing Tiers® ranking and many also stack to a full AT*SQA certification.
- Getting certified through AT*SQA is the only way you can be added to both the Official U.S. List of Certified Software Testers™ and the ISTQB SCR, so register through AT*SQA.
- If you are looking for a software QA job, add yourself to AT*Work™. The AT*Work list of testers for hire is where employers search for QA pros with specific skills and qualifications. Note: To appear in AT*Work, you must have at least one certification through ASTQB or AT*SQA. The more certifications and micro-credentials you have through AT*SQA, the more Testing Tiers™ points you earn, and the higher you will appear in AT*Work.
You can also include a direct link to your AT*Work profile in all of your communications so people can see proof of your experience and knowledge.
- If you are a QA manager, protect yourself by building your credentials and your team's capacity. Managers are always asked to do more with less. But this is the secret that the best managers know: Certifications and micro-credentials give teams common QA terminologies and principles. This makes them more efficient and better at finding bugs. Upper management will notice and appreciate it!
Don't forget to prove your cutting-edge knowledge with your own micro-credentials and certifications, too.
AT*SQA makes it easy for you to protect your career and your team with ISTQB software testing certifications and AT*Micro™ software testing micro-credentials. Don't delay – the time to protect your career is now.
