Our Vision
To support professional testing in the Australia and New Zealand region through the provision of accreditation services and the establishment of high quality examination processes.
Our Functions
ANZTB is the regional body representing and supporting software testing professionals in Australia and New Zealand.
The ANZTB was constituted in Sydney in August 2005 as a non-profit organisation and a member of the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB).
In conjunction with the ISTQB, the ANZTB is responsible for providing a consistent trusted accreditation system for the education and training of professional testers. Our Board develops, adopts and sets standards for software testing, training course development, and professional qualification.
ANZTB is responsible for certification of testing professionals to the standards and syllabi laid down by the ISTQB.
ANZTB also acts to generate public awareness of the economic and risk mitigation benefits that professional software testing practice offers.
The Board is comprised of highly experienced professionals in software testing who volunteer their time to the development, maintenance and promotion of the ISTQB Certified Tester Program in Australia and New Zealand.
ANZTB supports members from all areas of the software testing industry. Our Board aims to support the IT Industry in elevating software testing from art form to engineering discipline.
An artist achieves a result that pleases some people some of the time. A scientist will find an answer to the question you asked, eventually, and at an indeterminate cost. An engineer will consistently get it on your desk on time, on budget and conforming to specifications.
The ANZTB offers:
- Accreditation and on-going audit of training providers to supply courses which meet the ISTQB's syllabi.
- Facilitation of certification of individuals according to ISTQB standards.
- Promotion of testing as a worthwhile career path for IT testing professionals throughout Australasia.
