A tanfolyamot azon tesztelők számára ajánljuk, akik szeretnék letenni az ISTQB Advanced Level Security Tester vizsgát és elsajátítani a biztonsági tesztelés módszertanát. A képzésen a hallgató átfogó képet kap a biztonsági tesztelés megközelítéseiről, megtervezéséről és kivitelezéséről.

Biztonsági teszteléssel foglalkozó szoftvertesztelőknek, akik szeretnék letenni a kapcsolódó ISTQB vizsgát és elmélyíteni ilyen irányú ismereteiket.

Sikeres ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level vizsga, minimum három éves tapasztalat biztonsági tesztelés vagy hasonló témakörben, továbbá angol nyelvismeret, tekintettel arra, hogy a tananyag és a vizsga is angol nyelvű. (A képzés magyar oktatóval, magyar nyelven történik.)

Világszinten és Magyarországon is különleges új tanfolyamunk a biztonsági tesztelés módszertanával, hátterével, megtervezésével, implementálásával, technikáival, mérőszámaival, kockázataival és továbbfejlesztésével foglalkozik.

A vizsgakérdések mellett nagy hangsúlyt kapnak a gyakorlatok, ahol a biztonsági tesztelés egyes fázisaival kapcsolatos feladatokat oldunk meg. A képzés gyártó- és eszközfüggetlen, számítógépes gyakorlatokat nem végzünk. A tananyag az ISTQB által akkreditált, így hivatalos vizsgafelkészítőként tartjuk.

A képzés a Szegedi Tudományegyetemmel együttműködésben valósul meg.
