ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level (CT-FL) - Blended Learning

This essential course covers all the core topics of methodical software testing that are immediately applicable across all industries. It is the ideal preparation to join the world's largest community of certified software testers.

Module-based online learning units in your imbus Digital Learning Environment, accompanied by regular workshops in the virtual classroom (VC).

Blended learning fits you if you:

• want to decide for yourself when and where you wish to learn.
• like to work through self-organized learning units at your own pace during the course.
• want to determine your learning time independently.
• can invest about 8 hours per week to complete the learning units on your own.
• can spare about 3.5 hours per week for the Virtual Classroom Workshops.
• are able and willing to hang in there! The blended learning format calls for self-initiative in order to be completed successfully.

In this seminar you will receive a comprehensive overview of tasks, methods and techniques in software testing. You will understand all steps of the software testing processes, from test planning through specification up to execution and logging.

You will receive a detailed and structured compilation of the essential terminology of testing and the relevant international norms and standards. You will be able to successfully apply your newly acquired techniques such as equivalence partitioning analysis at the module, integration or system test level.

You will have practiced creating concise defect reports; you will know how to successfully complete the error management process up to designing an efficient re-test.

You will learn which test tools can support your work and what must be kept in mind, when selecting and introducing these tools.

This seminar promotes the contents of the ISTQB^® syllabus and is accredited by the German Testing Board. You will be ideally prepared for participating in the examination for the acquisition of the “ISTQB^® Certified Tester Foundation Level” certificate.
