ISTQB Foundation Level Preparation
Description
Software testing is an integral part of the software development process. When done correctly it significantly reduces the probability that a software program crashes, misses an important functionality, provides wrong results, responds slowly or is difficult to use. Moreover it saves organizations loss of money, time and business reputation.
Our ISTQB Foundation Level Preparation course prepares participants to conduct software testing activities based on the best practices in the field. In addition throughout the 4 days of training, they gain the necessary knowledge to prepare for the Foundation Level Certification exam from ISTQB.
