Today, the ISTQB certification scheme is fully recognized and widely adopted around the world. The ISTQB testing certification program consists of three levels:\n\n<ul>\n\n<li>Foundation Level<\/li>\n\n<li>Advanced Level<\/li>\n\n<li>Expert Level<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\nAt 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 \u2018Assessing the Test Process\u2019.","target_audience":"<strong>Who should attend this training?<\/strong>\n\nThe training is suitable for you if have reached an \u2018advanced\u2019 point in your career and want to become an expert in the field of test process improvement.\n\nA test expert is someone with a broad knowledge of testing in general, and an expertise in a specific area.
