Are Micro-Credentials a Good Fit For Your Career as a Software Tester?

While software testing certifications have long been important for software QA testing jobs, micro-credentials are quickly being noticed by employers. In fact, we recently saw a job posting requiring two AT*SQA Micro-Credentials in addition to certification.

Why are AT*SQA Micro-Credentials a good fit for your career? An experienced software tester told us:

"For anyone new to testing, they provide a great introduction and overview of the world of software testing. They are also broken up into bite-size chunks that are easier to understand and not as overwhelming as the larger full certifications."

But AT*SQA micro-credentials aren't just for new testers. He went on to say:

"For experienced testers, the AT*SQA Micro-Credentials provide a great way to brush up on fundamentals, plus possibly identify areas of interest or potential improvement for some of the more advanced topics.”
