ISTQB Software Testing Foundation Level 2018 BH0-010 OEM Certkit E-Learning

Software systems are increasingly ubiquitous in all aspects of our lives. Failures in these systems can be costly in terms of money, time, and business reputation. Some software failures can even result in personal injury or death. Effective software testing is integral to mitigating harm caused by software failures and providing confidence in software systems.

This path of courses introduces the objectives, principles, psychology, ethics, and fundamental processes associated with software testing. It covers testing throughout the software life cycle, static techniques, and test design techniques including black-box and white-box testing. You'll learn about test management, including planning, configuration, monitoring, and risk management. Finally, you'll learn about the tool support for testing – the types of tools available and how to introduce tools to your organization. This learning path is intended to align with the Certified Tester Foundations Level Syllabus (the 'Syllabus'). The authors, Thomas Muller (chair), Dorothy Graham, Debra Friedenberg, and Erik van Veendendal, and the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB®) are the source and copyright owners of the Syllabus. The path is intended to help learners prepare for the Foundation Certificate in Software Testing exam (BH0-010), which is provided by the Information Systems Examination Board (ISEB), a globally recognized testing body providing software testing certification.
