The German Testing Board is an independent, neutral commission, which is responsible for the quality of the Certified-Tester system and the associated examination procedures in Germany. It also supervises the Certified-Tester training courses, monitoring defined criteria and awarding accreditations to the training institutions. All the members of the Board are unpaid volunteers with practical experience. Within the German-speaking world, the GTB cooperates closely with the Austrian Testing Board and the Swiss Testing Board. For the TTCN-3 certificate, the GTB cooperates closely with the European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI), which develops the TTCN-3 standard. At an international level, the German Testing Board is a founder member of the umbrella organisation " International Software Testing Qualifications Board ". This group is responsible for the consistency and comparability of the teaching and testing content in all participating countries.
