The Global Partner status demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to the field of Software Testing and its willingness to contribute to the promotion of  software testing profession all over the world.

US.- BMM Testlabs and ISTQB announced that they have reached Global Partner status. The International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) global partnership requires that an international organisation has at least three legal entities, in different countries, holding ISTQB Gold or Platinum Partnership status. BMM qualifies with BMM Testlabs Australia, Gold Partner; BMM Testlabs North America, Gold Partner; and BMM Testlabs Canada, Platinum Partner.

EVP Operations at BMM Testlabs Americas, Travis Foley, said: “As BMM continues to implement the ISTQB certification program across its 13 global locations, every one of the company’s software engineers is committed to achieving the ISTQB certification. The benefits to the test lab, and the industry at large, are clear: Independently recognised, world-class, qualified testers result in improved quality of testing, increased product-time-to-market, decreased revocations, and importantly, more quality playing time for the patrons and game players.”

Gualtiero Bazzana, ISTQB President, commented that they’re extremely proud to have BMM Testlabs as a Global Partner in the ISTQB Partner Program. Gaming has become one of the most important industries of the digital era and they’re getting more involved in that domain and is considering investing in syllabi and exams specifically dedicated to this domain.

Kirk White, EVP & General Manager BMM International said that they have found that ISTQB’s independent testing is bringing benefits twofold to the organisation: not only are clients and regulators assured that BMM’s testers meet and exceed world class standards, as recognised by an outside and independent body, but also ISTQB’s methods are ensuring an incredibly high level of competence amongst BMM’s testing engineers.
