COURSE OBJECTIVE:
The objectives for the Certified Tester Foundation Level qualification are to: prepare candidates for the Foundation Certificate in Software Testing based on the ISTQB syllabus; improve understanding of software testing – its purpose and nature – and to raise awareness of issues and constraints around testing; learn standard terminology; introduce test techniques (static, white and black box) to delegates as well as providing practical experience of key techniques; provide a complete picture of the test processes from requirements review to system implementation; and provide delegates with an environment that supports their learning and impart them with the necessary confidence and means to support their future career as a test professional.
After successfully completing the course and passing the exam, delegates should be able to:
• Use a common language for efficient and effective communication with other testers and project stakeholders.
• Understand established testing concepts, the fundamental test process, test approaches, and principles to support test objectives.
• Design and prioritize tests by using established techniques.
• Analyze both functional and non-functional specifications (such as performance and usability) at all test levelts for systems with low to medium levels of complexity.
• Execute tests according to agreed test plans, and analyze and report on the results of tests.
• Write clear and understandable incident reports.
• Effectively participate in reviews of small to medium-sized projects.
• Be familiar with different types of testing tools and their uses; and assist in the ool selection and implementation process.
