As a nonprofit organization with its mission of “advancing the software testing profession”, ISTQB® regularly conducts surveys to assess the trends in the testing industry worldwide.
The survey covers several topics, ranging from organizational and budgetary aspects, to techniques/ processes/ tools, through skills and competencies; we think it provides useful information for all the professionals involved in the testing market, as well as direction for the further evolution of the ISTQB® scheme.
The survey was designed by the ISTQB® Marketing Working Group and endorsed by ISTQB® Member Boards, accredited training providers, and exam providers.
