James Bach's "About Certification" Extended Essay.
James Bach is a well known personality in the software testing and validation
community, highly regarded and often quite outspoken on topics that are near
to his heart.
As a brilliant autodidact himself,
he is particularly well qualified to address questions
about the effectiveness of "tester certification,"
in which certifying organizations train
and certify people as having minimum testing skills.
We think his arguments in favor of merit contrast very well
with the claims to fame of the various tester certification programs.
Take a look at his
Against Certification article and you'll see why James is so much in
demand at agile development, software quality,
and software testing conferences!
