Do You Have This In-Demand Testing Skill?

Test automation knowledge is certain to boost your career. It's popular now and looks to be a hot career skill for years to come.

Employers realize that anyone can claim to know test automation, but they want you to prove it. A quick and easy way to prove your basic knowledge is to study the free AT*SQA Test Automation micro-credential syllabus and then pass the AT*SQA Test Automation micro-credential exam.

Starting with the micro-credential has two benefits:

1. Nearly 9 out of 10 employers believe micro-credentials strengthen job applications.
2. Earning a micro-credential is an easy, quick way to learn if you are truly interested in something before you commit to working in that area.

If you found test automation interesting, then you'll want to make yourself stand out with the ISTQB Test Automation Engineering Certification. This proves you have an in-depth knowledge of test automation.
 
Importantly, you should take both the AT*SQA micro-credential and the ISTQB certification through AT*SQA. It's the only way you can:

• Earn Testing Tiers® points toward your ranking level
• Appear on both the Official U.S. List of Certified & Credential Testers™ and the ISTQB successful candidate register
• Appear in the AT*Work™ directory of testers for hire if you ever need a job
