On May 31, 2010 the ISTQB released their new website. The website address remains unchanged as www.istqb.org. The website has been upgraded to include new functionality and information for members of the ISTQB community. The transition to the new website should be relatively transparent to the testing community as the “legacy” website functionality and information has been used as the baseline for the new website. All previously existing information is still available to the public.
The CSTB (Canadian Software Testing Board) is the Canadian national branch of the ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board). As such, it advocates education and examination as a practical means to excel in the software testing field. The CSTB is one of many national boards participating in the ISTQB; other countries include England, France, Sweden, Spain, China, Denmark, Brazil...
