In the USA, 88% of programmers say that they learn of software bugs and errors primarily from users, but there is a more serious alarming factor: 26% of these same bugs are disclosed on social networks - and it's not hard to imagine their impact. ISTQB\u00ae certifications help to reduce risks, costs and protect your company's reputation. With this in mind, here are 10 good reasons to include testers in your software project teams: 1. Reduce the Number of Bugs and Software Errors Studies show that \"formal testing by certified personnel can achieve an efficiency of 99% in removing defects, while simultaneously reducing costs and reducing the workload to be carried out\"\u00b9.  2. Reduce Costs, Recoup Investment If a certification helps a tester eliminate just a single defect in software in production, it would mean that the return on investment in their certification has more than offset the estimated cost of the bug in production. 3 Accelerating and Improving Software Development Test team managers say that using the knowledge and terminology of ISTQB\u00ae Certifications improves communication and efficiency between project teams. On the other hand, with the inclusion of certified testers, bug detection tends to be much more efficient and programmers have more time for their development activities. 4. Global acceptance With over 750,000 test certifications issued in more than 100 countries, ISTQB\u00ae Software Testing Certification has become a global model. ISTQB\u00ae Certification exams are available in English, French, German, Spanish and even Portuguese; they can be taken in person or remotely, from the comfort of your own home. 5. practical and direct application ISTQB\u00ae certifications focus on the practical applications that testers use every day to detect and eliminate programming errors. Covering areas as diverse as Agile Development Testing, Performance Testing and Security Testing, these certifications allow you to build the testing skills needed by all project teams, thus reducing the number of software defects. 6 Motivating and Retaining Team Members; Reducing Costs The costs of employee turnover have been the subject of several studies. According to the American Psychological Association, in the absence of supervisor support for career development: Less than half of employees say they are motivated to do their best in their job (against almost 90% of those who say they have supervisor support); More than half say they intend to look for a new job outside the organization in the next year. Supporting an employee's career by offering them training and ISTQB\u00ae Certification is fairly inexpensive compared to the cost of losing that employee. So ISTQB\u00ae certification not only motivates your team members and helps reduce software errors, it also creates a more stable team, reducing turnover costs. 7 Developing Testing Skills and Increasing Profitability In addition to career development levels (Foundation, Advanced and Expert) and career paths (Test Manager, Test Analyst, Technical Test Analyst), ISTQB\u00ae offers specialized skills such as: Agile Testing, Mobile Testing, Security Testing, Test Automation, Performance Testing, Usability Testing that improve the skills of your entire quality control team to detect and eliminate programming errors. Studies indicate that companies that offer specialized training to their employees tend to make more profits than companies that invest less in training. 8 A Question of Trust Hundreds of ISTQB\u00ae certifications have been issued in Portugal with the PSTQB seal of approval. PSTQB, as a non-profit organization led by experts in the field of software testing, is dedicated to promoting software quality in Portugal, and to raising the professionalism of all those involved in testing processes. 9. Improving the Cost-Efficiency Ratio The PSTQB does not carry out training courses, as this is not its role; however, it is its role to accredit entities capable of providing recommended training courses. In this sense, companies can allow their employees to use these options. On the other hand, companies have the possibility of establishing a formal link with PSTQB which allows them various benefits: from direct discounts and priority registration for PSTQB events; to career recognition by advertising job vacancies for testers; to international networking, providing a close relationship with experts in the field of software testing. 10. Meeting Software Quality Workforce Needs through Qualification The need to hire qualified employees has been a constant concern in the business world, with several studies describing the importance of strengthening employees' professional skills, as well as the urgency of retraining them. The development of software testing skills proposed by ISTQB\u00ae Certifications responds precisely to the increasingly common and complex software quality requirements.
