    Certification will never show the expertise of a person, until he as passion to work and learn what he is doing. You will get lot of dumps for all the certifications and would help you clear but this will never help you to clear and crack technical interviews untill you dont like what you are doing.

    I think some of the comments are missing the point. Just from personal experience, I spent about six months doing self study on each certification. Not that I am a slow learner: I just took my time (some nights and weekends here and there), read through every book in sight, worked as a tester (as a team lead, perf tester, automation tester, assistant requirements writer, etc.). I then went in, took each certification test, and passed each the first time through.

    Not that I am special – it was just one more challenge to tackle. The real problem is taking new testers, sending them to a 1- or 2-week crash course with a test at the end, and expecting them to be trained. When you consider opportunity costs in lost product quality, the certification money is chicken-feed.

    Excellent cartoon!
