of Ethics.

◉ ISTQB FOUNDATION · SECTION 1.10
The foundation · professional conduct 02 / 05
Acting responsibly

Testers can have access to confidential and privileged information.

They are to treat any information with care and attention, and act responsibly to the owners of this information, employers and the wider public interest.

Anyone can test software, so the declaration of this code of conduct applies to those who have achieved software testing certification.

The code of ethics is far reaching in its aims, and perhaps is the reason for the whole book itself.
