ITA-STQB

ITA-STQB (ITAlian Software Testing Quali­fi­ca­tions Board) is a non-profit associ­ation born in 2007, which started to offer certification exams from the second half of 2008. Its charac­ter­istic activ­ities include certification in the field of software engineering in Italy, such as business analysis, requirements engineering, software architecture and testing. Certification happens in accor­dance with the rules and syllabi that are public, defined by inter­na­tional reference insti­tutes, i. e., ISTQB^®, IREB®, IQBBA® and iSAQB®, written by experts and subjected to continuous review and updating. Their termi­nology is described in glossaries, and ITA-STQB deals with trans­la­tions into Italian for the certi­fi­ca­tions offered in Italy. ITA-STQB also deals with the accred­i­tation of companies for training activ­ities, the active contri­bution to the evolution of inter­na­tional reference schemes, and the stimu­lation of interest in Italy on software engineering issues through the organi­zation of confer­ences and specific events, while promoting the exchange of skills.
