ISTQB Expert - Improving the Testing Process - Assessing Test Processes

The Expert level enables you to improve your skills in various directions. One of these directions is “Improving the Testing Process”. This level consists of two modules: “Assessing the Test Processes” and “Implementing Test Process Improvement”. Someone who has successfully completed both modules may consider him or herself an expert and can officially be called a “Certified Tester Expert Level (CTEL)”. The “ISTQB Expert Improving the Testing Process - Module Assessing Test Processes” training is a four-day training that is spread over a number of weeks. At the fifth day participants take an exam.

The Foundation and Advanced level is about knowledge, comprehension, application and analysis. This is supplemented by Expert level and deepened with evaluation and creation. In addition to attending the four-day intensive course, participants are expected to carry out so-called workplace assignments based on their own case. In other words, we proceed directly from theory to practice!

This course is a preparation for the (sub) exam "ISTQB Expert Improving the Testing Process - Module Assessing Test Processes" and meets the requirements set by ISTQB. The Advanced Test Manager Certificate is a prerequisite to participate in this exam. The exam consists of two parts: a multiple choice questionnaire and an 'essay style' section. Candidates who score 65% or higher pass the exam.
