ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation

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 training, they gain the necessary knowledge to prepare for the Foundation Level Certification exam from ISTQB.

The ISTQB Foundation Level qualification is aimed at IT professionals who need to demonstrate practical knowledge of the fundamental concepts of software testing. This includes people in roles such as test designers, test analysts, test engineers, test consultants, test managers, user acceptance testers, and IT Professionals.

The Foundation Level qualification is also appropriate for anyone who needs a basic understanding of software testing, such as project managers, quality managers, software development managers, business analysts, IT directors, and management consultants.
