Rational, well IBM Rational is probably one of the organizations to have tools for all the activities involved in SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle). On this page, I will give information about certifications offered by IBM Rational, which are related to software testing. Surprisingly, IBM has two categories of certifications Certification For all candidates

There are two certification available, for IBM Rational Manual Tester (RMT) and IBM Rational Performance Tester (RPT)

IBM Certified Solution Designer - RMT

According to IBM website "This intermediate-level solution designer is an individual with extensive product knowledge who understands how to setup, configure and create a manual testing framework with Rational Manual Tester."

IBM Certified Solution Designer - RPT

Again from IBM " An intermediate level solution designer is an individual with extensive product knowledge who understands how to use the IBM Rational Performance Tester tool to validate the performance, scalability and reliability of Web-based, SAP, Siebel, or Citrix hosted systems. This person is proficient in creating dynamic tests, developing workload schedules for various performance and load testing scenarios, execute tests with both small and large loads, and evaluating resulting data to measure, analyze and pinpoint factors that affect system performance and other related issues before deployment."

Certification for IBM Business Partners, Educational Partners and IBM Employees

I do not think I need to give this information here. If you are not in IBM, you will not care about these certification and if you are in IBM, you already know about it. In case you do not know and would like to know, go here.
