ISTQB® CTFL: Testing Throughout the Software Development Lifecycle

Gain an understanding of the world of testing through the ISTQB® framework by learning about various Software Development Life Cycles (SDLCs), test types, and test levels.

Software is everywhere and it is an integral part of our lives. This means that software of poor quality will continue to have a greater impact on us. Flawed software may result in anything: from minor individual inconveniences to public disasters. It is therefore crucial to uphold high quality standards for our software. In this course, ISTQB® CTFL: Testing Throughout the Software Development Lifecycle, you will gain a high-level understanding of software testing in the context of SDLCs. First, you will learn the different SDLC models that exist, and how they impact test activities. Then you will learn what test levels and test types are, and how they help you assess what needs to be tested and why. Finally, you’ll learn the importance of maintenance testing, as a tester’s work does not stop after the software is delivered. When you're finished with this course, you'll have the knowledge of software testing basics needed to explore the subject further.
