Malaysian Software Testing Board (MSTB) is a voluntary and non-profit organization that represents the national industry interests and promotes the broad profession of software testing.
It is championing software testing certifications.
This is interesting to me in a few ways:
MSTB has even created study materials (based on the syllabus of ISTQB) for people and it is free for download.
For instance, you can download the the Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) study material here which consists of suggested answers according to the syllabus from ISTQB as researched by MSTB. And the exam fee (which is conducted in Malaysia) is RM 525.
Training providers whose course material follows this syllabus may be accredited by a national board recognized by ISTQB.

- Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL)
- Certified Tester Advanced Level (CTAL)
- Certified Tester Expert Level (CTEL)
This is interesting to me in a few ways:
- These certifications may help to provide more income opportunities for ICT professionals
- In the future, colleges and universities will be outsourcing software testing curriculum modules to organizations such as MSTB and ISTQB because why reinventing the wheel ? If such movements are successful, it will create a precedence which educations can be outsourced as well.
- As what is envisioned by MSTB, Malaysia can establish a software development hub which focuses on software testing.
