Description
Course Description
This course is aimed at test engineers and test team leaders preparing for ISTQB foundation level certification. It is based on the International Software Testing Qualifications Board Foundation Syllabus (www.istqb.org).This course completely covers the current ISTQB syllabus (2011 version) . The course is divided into 6 sections , At the end of each section, there’s a quiz related to it, so you don’t have to wait until the end to do just the exam mock quiz and the simulation paper for the actual exam.
What you’ll learn
After completing this course you will be able to :
- Use a common language for efficient and effective communication with other testers and project stakeholders.
- Describe established testing concepts, the fundamental test process, test approaches, and principles to support test objectives.
- Design and prioritize tests by using established techniques; analyze both functional and non-functional specifications (such as performance and usability) at all test levels for systems with a low to medium level of complexity.
- Execute tests according to agreed test plans, and analyze and report on the results of tests.
- Write clear and understandable incident reports.
- Effectively participate in reviews of small to medium-sized projects.
- Addressing bug using test case attributes.
- Be familiar with different types of testing tools and their uses; assist in the selection and implementation process.

Course Overview
The ISTQB Foundation Level certification is widely acknowledged as the most recognized and respected credential in the field of software testing. Designed to establish a strong foundation in testing principles, this course serves as an essential stepping stone for individuals aiming to build or enhance their careers in the software quality assurance domain.
This program introduces participants to the core principles, methodologies, and terminologies of software testing, ensuring they understand its critical role in the software development lifecycle. From test planning and execution to defect detection and management, the course delves into the practical aspects of testing, equipping learners with the skills needed to address real-world challenges in ensuring software quality.
Participants will gain a thorough understanding of various test levels (unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing) and test types (functional, non-functional, structural, and regression testing). The course also emphasizes the importance of static and dynamic testing techniques, enabling professionals to identify and mitigate defects early in the software development process.
In addition to theoretical knowledge, this course is packed with practical insights and case studies, allowing participants to experience the application of testing concepts in real-world scenarios. Through hands-on exercises, learners will develop proficiency in test case design techniques such as equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, and decision table testing, which are critical for effective test planning and execution.
Whether you are just beginning your journey in software testing, transitioning from another role in IT, or seeking to formalize your existing knowledge and skills, this course is tailored to meet your needs. The ISTQB Foundation Level certification not only validates your expertise but also opens doors to advanced certifications and career opportunities in software testing.
By completing this course, you will gain the confidence to collaborate with development teams, contribute to delivering high-quality software products, and prepare successfully for the ISTQB Foundation Level certification exam. With a focus on best practices and industry standards, this course ensures you are well-equipped to excel in the competitive and rapidly evolving world of software testing.
