Answer Posted / rajendra prasad reddy penumall

Good lavanya,
Very good decision, there are two types of certifications
available in testing domain.
They are:
1. ISTQB Certification-International Software Testing
Qualifications Board
2. CSTE-Certified Software Tester certification

ISTQB certification has different levels:
Foundation Level-4000/- exam fee
Advanced Level--4000/- exam fee

For Foundation level exam i recommend book: Foundations of
Software Testing: ISTQB Certification
Written by Dorothy Graham, Erik van Veenendaal, Isabel
Evans and Rex Black
Above book is enough to clear foundation level exam.
Even i followed this book for preparation!!!

For More Details:
check web site: http://www.istqb.in/

Second certification is CSTE
This certification is little bit expensive (around 420
USD=18000/-INR Approx)
This certification will have some what vast syllabus.

Preparation Material:
Once if you register for this exam, they will provide you
CBOK (Common Body of Knowledge).
This is enough for preparation

For More Details:
check web site:
