An international standard in software testing

The International Software Testing Qualification Board (ISTQB) was established in November 2002 with the aim of creating and harmonizing a global certification program for software testing. Today, the ISTQB certification scheme is fully recognized and widely adopted around the world. The ISTQB testing certification program consists of three levels:

Foundation Level
Advanced Level
Expert Level

At the Expert level, you can enhance your skills in various areas. One of these areas is Improving the Testing Process. This level consists of two modules: Assessing Test Processes and Implementing Test Process Improvement. If you successfully complete both modules, you can consider yourself an expert and use the official title of Certified Tester Expert Level (CTEL). This training covers the module ‘Assessing the Test Process’.
