ISTQB Multi-User License for e-learning Training


Many companies are electing to train their software testers via e-learning / distance-learning and saving a huge amount of money by using a multi-user (or company-wide) training license. There are several reasons why training to achieve ISTQB certifications should adopt this approach.


The first reason is cost. In times such as these, it is imperative that companies train their testers in the most cost-effective way. The traditional classroom-led training is incredibly expensive in comparison to e-learning. Each individual must be paid for, which is often a considerably large sum of money. But, this is not the only cost, as the company has to also let the individual attend the training course. This will result in paid time away from work, where they could have been contributing to the development of a product. By choosing a multi-user (or company-wide) training license, a company has a one-off payment that will allow them to train their entire company in training such as ISTQB Foundation, ISTQB Advanced or even the new MATA (Mobile App Testing Associate).


The second major benefit to using a multi-user (or company-wide) training license is the incredible flexibility. The training can be done at anytime of the day from anywhere. Typically the license provided will mean you will have the full course content to host on your own server, or simply hand-out to the individual testers of your company. This allows the testers to study at home or even traveling to work, which in effect reduces the time missed from actual work. Many companies will purchase a license to allow a tester to complete ISTQB Foundation, ISTQB Advanced or MATA certifications as one of their objectives for the year. This takes the burden of training entirely from the company.


If you are serious about ISTQB training this year, and want the most simplest, time-saving and cost-effective way to do it, then look no further than the extensive Testing4Success Training Catalog today. Their training team is on-hand to answer any questions you have about e-learning or multi-user licenses.

ISTQB ATB Distance-Learning Course for 2014

If you are considering studying for the ISTQB ATB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) or ISTQB ATB Advanced in 2014, you should consider the most effective and efficient way to study, as this could save you a small fortune in training fees. As you probably already know, the Foundation level is aimed at software testers who would like to demonstrate their knowledge of software testing. This certification is mainly appropriate for testers, but may also be of benefit to developers, test managers too.


In Austria, Once a decision has been made to study for the ISTQB ATB certification, the student has (up until recently) a clear choice of studying by themselves from books etc, or attending a classroom-lead training course. Both of these have their drawbacks. Choosing to study yourself gives you no opportunity to ask questions, and could easily result in the miss-understanding of key testing concepts will will ultimately result in a failed exam attempt. While classroom-lead training improves upon self-study, it is incredibly expensive in comparison. Also, there are time issues (unless your employer is willing to sacrifice several days of missed testing).


It makes sense to consider ISTQB ATB e-learning / distance-learning for both the Foundation and Advanced certifications. This gives you many advantages such as; the flexibility to study when and where you want to, a very low training cost, access to a training tutor, additional certificate to show current and future employers. If you are interested in achieving the ISTQB ATB Foundation or ISTQB ATB Advanced in 2014, then you should definitely take a look at the distance-learning training courses offered by Testing4Success, see their Training Catalog today and see their extensive range.

An Outsourced Web Testing Company

There are plenty of good reasons to choose to outsource your web testing requirements to a professional outsourced testing company. The most common reason is down to competency, as many companies simply do not have the right skill-set in their staff. Testing practices, approaches and tools change frequently, so knowing that your web development is being tested by a team of professionals will obviously give piece of mind.


A major headache for small to medium sized software or web development companies is time. More specifically, the time it takes to effectively test a new web application in relation to keeping to project deadlines. Even with an established test team in place, the last few days before a project is released can be a critical time to detect and fix any issues before subsequent release. By having an outsourced web testing company on-hand throughout the development process, can significantly reduce the chance of a testing bottleneck towards to the end of a project.


When selecting an outsourced web testing company there are a few key factors to consider and make sure are in-place before testing starts. The main factor to consider is ensuring there will be frequent and ongoing communication during the actual testing phases. You will need feedback as to the test results and defects found regularly to ensure the development can stay within any deadline. A good Professional Outsourced Web Testing Company will have a QA management system in-place to allow you to see real-time testing progress.


Outsourcing web testing is a growing trend, and the benefits are obvious. If the right company is chosen to perform the testing, very few development companies will return to using permanently staffed in-house test teams.

FREE ISTQB TRAINING FOR 2014

A popular mistake that people make when studying for the ISTQB Foundation or ISTQB Advanced exam is to search the internet look for free ISTQB study guides, training or free exam questions. While the search will undoubtedly find such material, the quality of these free items is somewhat questionable. To start with, its virtually guaranteed that this ‘free’ material will be out-of-date, and not for the latest 21014 ISTQB Foundation or 2014 ISTQB Advanced. When exam day comes and you have been studying with out-of-date information, your exam experience will not be a positive one.


At Testing4Success, we have created the extremely popular range of self-study / e-learning training for the 2014 ISTQB certifications. A lot of work has gone into the creation of these training courses, and also ensuring they are kept up-to-date to reflect the latest ISTQB requirements. In addition our training courses come with a personal training tutor, who is there to guide you through the training and answer any questions. This kind of complete professional training course is not free, but is instead, competitively priced to allow anyone to use them and achieve their certification goal.


The person choosing to achieve ISTQB certification in 2014 has to weigh-up the cost and the advantage of free training over a Professional ISTQB Training Course. By asking basic questions like “am I studying with the correct training material?” an informed decision can be made. Being confident enough to book an exam is one thing, but having the confidence backed up with knowing you have studied with the 2014 training material, will boost your confidence and ultimately lead to a successful exam and achieving the end goal of actual ISTQB certification.

Outsourced Software Testing Services

There are many good reasons to choose an outsourced software testing service. At Testing4Success.com, we know these reasons inside-out which is why our services; from web testing and desktop application testing through to mobile app testing are so successful.


Many companies may not have the necessary personnel or skill-sets to adequately perform software testing. In addition there may not be a requirement for ongoing testing to be performed. So, the overhead of employing permanent software testers just does not make sense from a project or business perspective.


By choosing to outsource software testing to a professional company, not only will you instantly have professional software testers working on your development, but in addition you will gain several other benefits. Firstly, the testing budget can be agreed to in advance, so if delays happen (this does happen on occasions….right?) then the testing can simply be re-scheduled. If you had employed permanent or contract testers, then you would still be paying for them until the software was ready to test, which can rapidly become a major project expense. Secondly, you do not have the overhead of managing the testers. Typically a dedicated Test Manager would be employed to manage all things test related. But, a good outsourced software testing company will provide this for no additional charge.
