The International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) is a not-for-profit association legally registered in Belgium. It is composed of 47 member Boards from worldwide countries. It provides software testing certification and glossary.
The Association for Software Testing (AST) is a professional non-profit association that is dedicated and strives to build a testing community that views the role of testing as skilled, relevant, and essential to the production of faster, better, and less expensive software products. We value a scientific approach to developing and evaluating techniques, processes, and tools. We believe that a self-aware, self-critical attitude is essential to understanding and assessing the impact of new ideas on the practice of testing. http://www.associationforsoftwaretesting.org/
“Bug fixing often uncovers opportunities for refactoring. The very fact that you’re working with code that contains a bug indicates that there is a chance that it could be clearer or better structured.”
Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence! Edsger W. Dijkstra Source: Notes On Structured Programming, 1970, at the end of section 3, On The Reliability of Mechanisms.
