ISTQB® Academia Dossier
ISTQB® is committed to promoting a close relationship with Academia, so that we nurture an open international community, sharing knowledge, ideas, and innovations in software testing.
One way to foster the partnership with the Academia Network is to share some good practices already in place. The Academia Dossier is a compilation of country specific good practices in terms of interactions of ISTQB® stakeholders with Academia.
The Dossier offers possibilities for other countries to adapt these good practices, and it is also a platform to collaborate as well.
Below you can find a description of some of those best-practices, illustrated by a Pie Chart created after a sample of 10 countries’ data.
The above initiatives are:
- Papers & Conferencesparticipation of academics in ISTQB® conferences and participation of ISTQB® members in academic conferences, discounts in conference tickets, offering tickets for specific students for international conferences and, jointly written papers.
- Funding represents Internships (for students through industry affiliates), Scholarships applied to research, and Sponsorships from industry partners to promote research in testing.
- Community Leverage promote regular meetings, magazine for knowledge sharing and a compilation of “Who is Who Directory” for Phd.s in Testing.
