Application
Dive into the world of model-based testing with this comprehensive training designed to prepare you for the ISTQB Certified Tester Model-Based Tester certification. Learn how to create and use models to improve test coverage, efficiency, and accuracy. This course covers the principles of model-based testing, test model design, test generation, and the integration of model-based testing into the software development lifecycle. Take your testing to the next level by learning about model-based testing!
The Model-Based Testing (CT-MBT) course primarily aims at software testers, test analysts, technical test analysts, test managers, system and software developers, and architects. It is also beneficial for those seeking a deeper understanding of software testing and the application of models in test generation, such as project managers, quality assurance managers, product managers, business analysts, and business process experts.
- ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level certificate or equivalent knowledge
- English language skills, since both the course and the exam are in English
Besides placing the characteristics of software testing in a model-based environment, our ISTQB-accredited course also prepares you to take the Model-Based Tester exam.

In the course, you get a comprehensive picture about model-based testing, which counts as a special subject not only in Hungary but also internationally. Besides exam preparation, we also place great emphasis on real-life tasks and examples in our course, helping students apply their newly gained skills later.
Main topics:
-
Introduction to Model-Based Testing: Discover MBT's objectives, motivations, and integration into software development and requirements engineering.
-
MBT Modeling: Learn to create MBT models, use modeling languages, and apply best practices for quality and relevance.
-
Selection Criteria for Test Case Generation: Understand test selection criteria, align them with objectives, and generate effective test cases.
-
MBT Test Implementation and Execution: Grasp MBT test case implementation, execution, and model adaptation for changing requirements.
-
Evaluating and Deploying an MBT Approach: Evaluate MBT deployment, measure ROI, and manage organizational integration using best practices.
After completing the training, you will be able to:
- Work in a model-based testing team using standard terminology and proven MBT concepts, processes, and techniques
- Apply and integrate model-based testing into the testing process
- Effectively create and maintain MBT models
- Select, create, and maintain test artifacts from MBT models, taking into account the risk and value of the functions under test
- Support the quality assurance process to make it more constructive and efficient
