ISTQB CT-MBT

Description

Model-based testing is an innovative test approach to improve effectivity and efficiency of the test process. A model-based tester on a project uses models to drive test analysis and design, and keeps advantage of the models for other testing activities such as test implementation and reporting.

ISTQB® Model-Based Tester certification complements the core foundation level as a specialist module. It provides a practical and easy entry to the MBT approach.

Business outcomes 

Passing this level demonstrates that candidates can:

• Collaborate in a model-based testing team using standard terminology and established MBT concepts, processes and techniques.
• Apply and integrate model-based testing in a test process.
• Effectively create and maintain MBT models using established techniques and best practices of model-based testing.
• Select, create and maintain test artifacts from MBT models considering risk and value of the features tested.
• Support the organization to improve its quality assurance process to be more constructive and efficient.
