- 28m
- 28 questions
The Software Testing Foundation Proficiency benchmark measures your knowledge of aspects of test management such as test monitoring, control, configuration management, risk management, and defect management. You will be evaluated on your skills and recognition of test tools, considerations, classifications, and effective use, as well as the benefits and risks of test automation. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have the skills to recognize various aspects of test management and the pros and cons of test tools.
