When I was at E&Y, when the partner was asked if we had CISSP certification, he replied “no, but focus on their experience”.  After we all got certified, he started replying: “yes, but focus on their experience”. 

 

The IT industry love certs. But what counts is experience.

I would evaluate a tester based on logical thinking. Given some requirements, how well can they derive various scenarios and combinations?

Not sure on comparison, but one of our client is using GE’s Flow Safe Pipeline control system. Seems my point of contacts are happy with it.
