Alongside software testing education in universities, a great extent of effort and resources are spent on software-testing training activities in industry. For example, there are several international certification schemes in testing, such as those provided by the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB), which have been issued to more than 914K testers so far. To train the highly qualified test engineers of tomorrow, it is important for both university educators and trainers in industry to be aware of the status of software testing education in academia versus its training in industry, to analyze the relationships of these two approaches, and to assess ways on how to improve the education / training landscape. For that purpose, this paper provides a pragmatic overview of the issue, presents several recommendations, and hopes to trigger further discussions in the community, between industry and academia, on how to further improve the status-quo, and to find further best practices for more effective education and training of software testers. The paper is based on combined ~40 years of the two authors' technical experience in test engineering, and their ~30 years of experience in providing testing education and training in more than six countries.
