In May 2023, the new ISTQB® Foundations V4 was unveiled, incorporating agile concepts to meet the current needs of the software testing market. This update is now available at the recently accredited QESTIT Academy, reinforcing its catalog of certified training courses for testing professionals.
Version V4 of ISTQB® Foundations offers a complete overhaul of testing fundamentals, adopting the principles of agility. The emphasis is now on the organization of integrated agile teams. User stories (US), with well-defined acceptance criteria, and co-written with the Product Owner (PO), comply with INVEST quality criteria, enabling early and frequent feedback, and efficient validation of functionalities.
This training, available in the QESTIT Academy catalog, enables professionals to acquire the skills they need to adapt to these constantly evolving agile environments.
The ISTQB® V4 version also focuses on project management methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban and agile development with XP (Extreme Programming). In addition, Test-First practices such as TDD, ATDD and BDD are taught, guaranteeing test-driven development right from the start.
Shift-left approaches are at the heart of this release, facilitating the transition to DevOps practices. Continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) are also emphasized, optimizing testing processes throughout the development cycle.
After months of work to prepare our training materials, QESTIT Academy has been accredited to deliver the new version. The ISTQB® Foundations V4 training course, now in the catalog, enables professionals to prepare for advanced certifications such as ISTQB® Agile Technical Tester and ISTQB® Automation. This accreditation reinforces companies' confidence in QESTIT Academy's ability to train qualified testers capable of meeting the challenges of agile environments.
This training is an opportunity for testers to perfect their skills in agile methods and optimize their careers in software testing.
