A certification is a document attesting to the truth of some statement or an event which grants a person or a group of people, special rights, privileges, or standing in a community or organization. Certifications often follow some assessment, education or review.Software testing certifications can be either exam or education based, but both require the prospective student to pass an exam to become certified.
Today, the most common certifications are professional. Some of these are certifications lasting for a lifetime while others expire after a certain period and have to be renewed later on.
