Software Testing Certification | So Many Certifications are Out There! Should I Even Try To Get Certified?

"Some certifications are not even worth the paper it is written on", a statement that was made by a very well-thought-of test expert years ago. At the time, I did not agree with it. Now, after seeing how certifications are awarded by some of those who called themselves "accredited" certification bodies, I am willing to agree, at least partially. As the founder of a professional development organization that certified QA and test professionals since 1999, I am now concerned about the reputation of "professional" certifications and wish to disengage myself from this fiasco. I can see the title of this article/talk to be a common question in the mind of software professionals today. When you see an organization claiming they issue an "accredited" certification advertising "...four easy steps to get certified" and 3 of these steps, is register, pay and get certified, this become really concerning. When you see providers competing based on how many sample exam questions they would give, then you start question the value of these certifications.

I think we are at a point where hiring managers get a bit more critical about giving any weight for any certification. At least, question how a certification was awarded what type of work the individual had to complete to earn the certification.
