The training program is recommended for those software testers who wish to pass the ISTQB Performance Testing exam. By the end of the training program, our learners gain a comprehensive knowledge of the theoretical methodology, tasks, and difficulties of performance testing.
For those software testers who intend to design, implement, and run performance tests.
ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level certification as well as at least an intermediate proficiency in English since the training material and the certification exam are in English.
In the world and also in Hungary, there has been a growing trend in the complexity of enterprise IT systems in recent decades. At the same time, more serious performance requirements concerning IT systems have appeared both on the user and customer side. Therefore, within IT more attention is paid to the performance methodologies used for verifying these requirements as well as to the performance testing professionals who are familiar with them.
Our certification exam preparation training presents the theoretical methodology independently of clients and devices. Furthermore, practical tasks help our learners to understand the usage of knowledge in real life and also to achieve certification. While practicing, our learners can learn about performance testing tasks through an example of a software engineering project and become part of the project by solving the task by themselves.
In addition to certification exam preparation, the aim of our program is to provide an advanced expertise of performance testing methods, so it is also recommended for those who are still new to the ISTQB software testing certifications.
