I am wondering if I could find reliable software of designing primers for qPCR
You can use the NCBI tool Primer BLAST to design primers for qPCR.
I found these reliable as well:

Hi there
for general qPCR primer design IDT primer quest is a nice tool. As a specific qPCR primer design tool it will specifically target exon-exon boundaries

For splice form specific primers try primer BLAST which is part of NCBI Gen Bank
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/tools/primer-blast/
I can recommend Primer3:

Thanks a lot Hall AND Hirschmann. I am actually using it for targeting all Cryptosporidium actine gene not only exon-exon sequences. I will try both tool, and hopefully will work.
kind Regards,
