In November 2002, the International Software Testing Qualification Board (ISTQB) was founded with the objective to establish the further internationalization and harmonization of the test certification program. Meanwhile, there is a fully recognized and globally harmonized ISTQB certification scheme. The ISTQB testing certification program is divided into three levels:
- Foundation Certificate
- Advanced Certificate
- Expert Certificate
At Expert level you can improve your skills in various directions. One of these directions is Test Management. This level consists of three modules: Strategic Test Management, Operational Test Management and Managing the Test Team. Someone who successfully completes all modules may consider him or herself an expert and can officially use the title Certified Tester Expert Level (CTEL).
Where Foundation and Advanced level are about knowledge, comprehension, application and analysis go, the Expert level is about evaluation and creation. You follow two training days and also perform workplace assignments, based on your own case. You can instantly practice the theory.
