ISTQB CTEL-TM-MTT

وصف

The ISTQB Expert Level Test Management (CTEL-TM) certification (Managing Testing, Testers, and Test Stakeholders) comprises three parts: 'Strategic Test Management', 'Operational Test Management', and 'Managing the Test Team'. Note that separate certification exams are provided for each part, and all three parts must be achieved to gain full certification in CTEL-TM. An Expert-Level Certificate is valid for seven years.

The ISTQB® CTEL-TM–Strategic Management content within the CTEL-Test Management syllabus considers the purpose of testing, the test mission, and the relation between the test policy, the test strategy, and the test objectives. It addresses the test policy objectives' effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction metrics. Integrating tools across the organization and testing as part of a more extensive set of quality management activities necessary to deliver quality software products and services are included, as well as the management of external relationships, most especially the merging of test strategies with third-party organizations. Part 1 of the CTEL-TM also examines the test management considerations for different project lifecycle models.

For Part 2 of the CTEL-TM certification, refer to CTEL-TM-OTM, and for Part 3, refer to CTEL-TM-MTT. All 3 Parts are required to be "CTEL-TM" certified.
