Software Testing Foundation 2018: Software Testing Foundation Competency (Intermediate Level)
- 30m
- 30 questions
The Software Testing Foundation Competency benchmark measures your knowledge of the fundamentals of static testing, the static testing review process, related review types, and general categories of testing techniques such as experience-based testing. You will be evaluated on your skills in recognizing the white box and black box testing techniques and the aspects of test management related to testing organization, test planning, and test estimating. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have the skills to implement the various test techniques and perform test management.
