In this ISTQB® Foundations seminar, you'll learn the key terms of software testing. We will guide you step-by-step through all stages of the software test process, from planning to specification, execution, and test reporting. We'll introduce you to professional testing procedures and demonstrate how these methods are systematically interconnected.

The new syllabus for the "ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL)" version 4.0, effective from 2024, forms the basis of the training. In addition to traditional development models like Waterfall and the V-Model, the new ISTQB CTFL version 4.0 also teaches more dynamic approaches to agile software development, such as DevOps, as the existing certification for ISTQB Agile Tester has been integrated. It also places a stronger emphasis on test automation, risk-based testing, and Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD).

Our trainers will also present as many practical examples as possible, so that applying what you've learned will feel natural.
