Has Your Testing Been Certified?

Readers of the uTest blog are no doubt aware of the ongoing (some would say never-ending) debate on tester certifications. We occasionally write about this topic ourselves and frequently ask our Testing the Limits guests for their thoughts on the matter as well. Some have opposed them unequivocally, arguing that a certificate can never validate the passion, curiosity and other intangibles so important to the craft. Others consider them useful given the right circumstances. uTest has taken a “neither promote nor prohibit” stance on the issue. How’s that for a political answer?
