How to scare a tester — No 2

This is a four-panel comic titled "How to scare a tester." It humorously depicts a ghost attempting to scare a software tester.

Panel 1: The ghost says "Boo" to the tester, who remains unfazed.
Panel 2: The ghost tries again, saying "Boo," but the tester still does not react.
Panel 3: The ghost makes one more attempt, again saying "Boo," with no effect.
Panel 4: The ghost changes its approach and says, "YOU MUST BE ISTQB CERTIFIED!" The tester reacts in fear, shouting "AHHHH!!!"
The joke plays on the idea that software testers are not easily scared by typical ghostly tricks, but mentioning the ISTQB certification requirement (a well-known qualification in software testing) is genuinely terrifying for them.
