Standard for professionals in quality management

"QAMP can become the quasi-standard, that professionals in quality management, testing, acceptance and governance need to match with."

 

Competitive advantage

"The final certification as QAMP is on the one hand a long-term motivation for our employees and an acknowledgement of their acquired know-how. On the other hand it is an independent certification of standardised theoretical and practical knowledge and therefore creates trust in SQS's services and performance. Moreover it helps to strengthen SQS's competitive advantage on the market."

 

Entire software life cycle

"International standards are quintessential. The QAMP Certificate covers the entire spectrum of system development before implementation sets off."

 

Internationally accepted

"Standards help to enable accelerated work in projects, with similar understanding and similar language. An international accepted certificate such as QAMP is therefore indispensable. Practical proceeding as well as consistent terms, methods and definitions make it easy to communicate from the (very) beginning. The QAMP certificate and its related trainings reaffirm competency in the field of Software Testing and Requirements Engineering for clients and potential customers."

 

"As companies adopt QAMP, not only will they enjoy lower costs of field failure, higher confidence in their releases, and less risk of embarrassing defects, they will also enjoy smoother professional relationships within teams as causes of frustration subside."

 

"Defining quality is near impossible to do, as it is different for each of us. However having the right mental attitude and understanding of the processes that help ensure that quality is delivered is key in today’s fast moving world of software development. For a long time now there have been qualifications for the individual disciplines that make up quality management, however QAMP I believe is the first time these qualifications have been brought together into one single Quality qualification.
Experimentus is a Software Quality Management consultancy based in the UK, and we are keen that the skills of our individual consultants are recognized. Up to now they could and have passed software testing, project management, requirements engineering and configuration management qualifications, but now with one combined standard they can be recognized on an international stage as qualified Quality Management professionals.
An internationally recognized Quality qualification will provide some measure of confidence to our clients that the consultants on site have the capability to deliver. I am not suggesting that the QAMP qualification is all that is required to provide this confidence, but as a measure of capability it ensure that a level of common understanding of the quality processes and terminology exists. This provides confidence to clients that solutions provided have a generic core.
For the individuals who qualify, it is a long overdue recognition of their capability, as well as a recognition that professional quality management is actually more than just writing a quality plan and testing."

 

Der Qualitätsanspruch im IT Umfeld steigt und steigt, sodass funktionierende, fehlerfreie Systeme als selbstverständlich angesehen werden. Damit steigt auch der Anspruch an die QA Abteilungen und der Professionalisierung von Testern. Durch Kombination von anerkannten Zertifikaten und erforderlicher Praxiserfahrung stellt QAMP dazu den nächsten logischen Schritt in Richtung Qualifizierung.

 

A simple tool for decision makers

The QAMP certification attests extensive practical experience and a broad professional know how in quality assurance and software development. It offers employees the chance to comprehensive training, which is an attractive option even for our ISTQB certified career testers. Moreover, the QAMP certificate is a simple tool for decision makers to find out beforehand whether a candidate is capable of successfully overcoming the challenges of the job.

 

Life-long learning

"Knowledge in IT is evolving very fast. New terminology is coming up every nine months. Most of the project disasters can be tracked back to misunderstandings between customer and contractor or among team mates. Therefore the entire IT community needs a common language that evolves with the new technologies. The international series of Certified Trainings which are grouped under the QAMP logo support life-long learning in IT."

 

State of the art

"Information technology is developing dynamically and ever more quickly. For my clients, certified knowledge in the field of quality assurance is evolving from enthusiastic possibility towards basic necessity. With the QAMP certificate I assure, that my know-how is always state-of-the-art."

 

"Internationally accepted and recognized certification and continuous renewal of professionalism is a huge motivation for people working in the field of software, and QAMP has it all. That's why we promote QAMP in Korea."

 

"QAMP is a great certification. It not only validates testing, requirements and other related areas of knowledge for a professional but also provides the impetus for continuous learning that one needs to exhibit in order to retain the certificate."

 

"The South African Software Testing Qualifications Board has decided to collaborate with iSQI by providing the QAMP and IREB Certifications to the South African ICT industry. The decision is compliant with our SASTQB vision to harness the knowledge and skills of Software Testers, Business Analysts and Quality Assurance resources and to provide an International Certification to them. This will ensure high-quality products by improving the quality chain during the development of these products."

 

"The Spanish Testing Board is very proud to be the QAMP partner of iSQI in Spain. We believe that QAMP is not only an added value for the professionals but also for the hiring companies: Due to the QAMP certification the companies are assured that they are hiring skilled practitioners."

 

"The QAMP super certificate ensures that professionals broaden their scope, e.g. an ISTQB certified tester will also need to study requirements engineering to pass the IREB exam. Broadening the scope of knowledge will lead to improved communication and professionals that understand each others challenges. Both are key critical factors for project success. QAMP is not just about certification; it is all about providing a career opportunity for becoming a more advanced quality assurance profesional, who can make the difference on a challenging project."
