How does ISEB relate to ISTQB and ANZTB?
A. The Information Systems Examining Board (ISEB) is the national examining board for the UK and is part of the British Computer Society. ISEB created and managed a professional certification scheme for software testers several years before ISTQB was formed. The ISEB Foundation Level syllabus and exam have now been superseded by the ISTQB Foundation Level syllabus and exam, and ISEB is the UK administrator for the ISTQB Foundation Level exam. However, a pass in the original ISEB Foundation exam is considered to be equivalent to a pass in the ISTQB Foundation exam. The ISEB Practitioner Level syllabus and exam continue to be provided by ISEB and are recognised by the ISTQB, but the syllabus and exam will be superseded by the ISTQB Advanced Level syllabus and exam when they are released in 2007.
