A test expert is someone with a broad knowledge of testing in general, and an expertise in a specific area. By expertise we mean having knowledge, expertise and skills with which you are able to direct or influence a project or organization in the design, implementation and execution of test processes. In daily practice, you are a test manager or consultant.
At least an intermediate knowledge of English since the course itself and the course material are in English and the certification exam questions are also in English. Furthermore, every student should possess the ISTQB Advanced Test Manager Certificate.
In November 2002, the International Software Testing Qualification Board (ISTQB) was founded with the objective of establishing the further internationalization and harmonization of the test certification program. Since then, a fully recognized and globally harmonized ISTQB certification scheme has come into existence. 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, 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.
