The ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level training is recommended for everyone interested in software testing, whether you work in IT or are planning a career change. No prior experience is required, as the course starts from the basics and guides you step by step into the world of software testing. It’s also an excellent choice for experienced testers, as it organizes existing knowledge, enhances it with practical examples, and facilitates exam preparation.
The knowledge gained is not only valuable for testers but also for software developers, project managers, and business analysts. It helps participants better understand software testing, enabling more effective collaboration during development projects. Whether you are looking for marketable skills to build a new career or deepen your existing knowledge, this course is for you.
- At least a basic knowledge of English since the course material is in English and you are also recommended to take the certification exam in English.
This course is also available in e-learning format!
Masterfield Training Centre was the first in Hungary to obtain ISTQB's accredited training provider certification. ISTQB continuously updates the material for each qualification and publishes a new version every few years. The latest, fourth version of the Foundation Level qualification was released in 2023. We place great emphasis on ensuring that our training courses always follow the latest ISTQB topics. In early 2024 we became the first training institution in Hungary to obtain accreditation for our ISTQB CTFL 4.0 version training.
By participating in this course, you will learn about the theoretical background of software testing, its various methodologies, following the official course material of the International Software Testing Qualification Board. Besides teaching a lot of the theory and practice of software testing, this course also gives students the knowledge needed to pass the Certified Tester Foundation Level exam.
The success of our course is also reflected in the very high pass rate of our students. Any students failing the exam may retake our next Certified Tester Foundation Level course free of charge.
Main Topics:
- The first part of the course introduces the principles, processes, and psychology of software testing.
- Next, we compare the phases of development projects and the structure of various development models. In this context, we discuss the levels of software testing (component testing, component integration testing, system testing, system integration testing, acceptance testing) and key testing types (functional and non-functional testing, regression testing, confirmation testing, maintenance testing).
- Exploring static analysis and reviews introduces us to static testing techniques.
- One of the most important parts of the course is mastering the process of test analysis, test design, and test implementation. During this, we cover black-box, white-box, and experience-based testing techniques.
- The course also covers the basics of test management: the responsibilities of a test manager, testing strategies, defect management, and risk handling are all included in our topics.
- Finally, we delve into the world of tools used in testing.
Each chapter includes practical examples to aid understanding and practice exam questions to help prepare for the certification exam.
After completing the training, you will be able to:
- Understand the fundamental concepts and benefits of testing.
- Identify the appropriate testing approaches and activities based on the testing context.
- Evaluate and improve the quality of documentation.
- Increase the efficiency and effectiveness of testing.
- Align the testing process with the software development lifecycle.
- Create and communicate clear and understandable defect reports.
- Understand the factors influencing testing priorities and efforts.
- Recognize the risks and benefits of test automation.
- Identify the essential skills required for testing.
- Understand the impact of risks on testing.
These skills will help you perform your work with confidence and add significant value to your team.
