The Software Testing Foundation (CTFL 4.0) Proficiency (Advanced Level) benchmark evaluates your knowledge of test planning, software tester roles, software testing strategies, and entry and exit criteria. You will be assessed on your recognition of methods for test execution and scheduling and how to utilize the test pyramid model and testing quadrants. Learners scoring high on this benchmark demonstrate an understanding and working knowledge of software test plans and software estimation and prioritization techniques.

Topics covered
