UXQB and GTB have signed a cooperation treaty. Goal of the cooperation is, to interlink the career paths of software testing and usability testing, both of which are not consistently connected nowadays in industry. This will be achieved by “bridging qualifications”. These bridging qualifications shall help software testers to gain insights into usability testing and identify commonalities and differences. On the other hand, usability engineers shall gain insights into software testing and also identify commonalities and differences between both, usability testing and software testing. These bridging qualifications will be developed by UXQB and GTB conjunctly in order to enable a consistent orientation in both fields of testing.
