Hi Vijay,

Hi Raj n Shilpa,
U both have asked the same question. Here is the answer. CSTE certification for experienced people n ISTQB for inexperienced people. ISTQB is foundation level exam for people who dont have experience. If you have experience go for CSTE.
@ Pappu
Its not tat CSTE certification is for experienced ppl & ISTQB is for inexperienced ppl. There r many experienced ppl who r still unable to clear the ISTQB foundation level. It all depends on the representing or reproducing levels of his/her knowledge and especially the hardwork tat the individual does for the exam preparation.
I request all the bloggers to provide perfect guidance or help in this type of discussions. Remember tat the information tat we pass to others helps them to shape their CAREER. So, no flaw statements pls.
