This is a great article about certification testing and why it might not be a great idea. He points out that certs generally test for the previous methods and processes and fail to account for evolution of them. I completely agree with him in that I don't value these type of certifications much anymore. In fact, you could say that I de-value them; the more time you've spent trying to prove that you know something, the less time you've actually spent doing that thing.
