Model-based testing is an innovative testing approach to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the test process. A model-based tester on a project uses models to drive test analysis and design, and keeps the advantage of the models for other testing activities, such as test implementation and reporting.
ISTQB Model-based Tester certification complements the core foundation level as a specialist module. It provides a practical and easy entry to the MBT approach.
“I took my certifications through ASTQB & AT*SQA because they were the only ones that could put you on the Official U.S. List of Certified & Credentialed Testers™ as well as the ISTQB Successful Candidate Register. I love that fact and it is the #1 reason that I chose them as my preferred exam provider of all time.”
