The certification provides an advantage for those who would like to know the required Automotive activities, roles, techniques, and methodologies specific to their role.Cíle kurzu
Building on the Foundation Level, the Automotive Software Tester Specialist supports the definition of career paths for professional testers. A person with the Automotive Software Tester certificate has
extended the broad understanding of testing acquired at the Foundation Level to enable him or her to work effectively as a professional tester in an automotive project.
In general, the Foundation Level syllabus is examinable at a K1 level, i.e., the candidate will recognize, remember and recall terms and concepts stated in the Foundation Level syllabus.
In addition, all Foundation Level syllabus learning objectives are examinable at the same K-level in an specialist exam. That said, each specialist level exam focuses on the learning objectives defined in that specialist syllabus. The relevant learning objectives at K1, K2, and K3 levels are provided at the beginning of each chapter within each particular specialist syllabus.Určeno pro
The Foundation Level Specialist – CTFL® Automotive Software Tester (CTFL®-AuT) qualification is aimed at four main groups of professionals:
- Professionals who have achieved in-depth testing experience in traditional methods and would like to get an Automotive Software Tester certificate.
- Junior professional testers who are just starting in the testing profession, have received the Foundation Level certificate, and would like to know more about the tester’s role in an
automotive projects.
- Professionals who are relatively new to testing and are required to implement test approaches, methods and techniques in their day to day job in automotive projects.
- Professionals who are experienced in their role (including unit testing) and need more understanding and knowledge about how to perform and manage testing on all levels in automotive projects. These professionals include people who are in roles such as testers, test analysts, test engineers, test consultants, test managers, user acceptance testers, and software developers.
This Foundation Level Specialist – Automotive Software Tester certification may also be appropriate for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of software testing in the automotive world, such as project managers, quality managers, software development managers, business analysts, IT directors, and management consultants
