Why Choose This Course
The ISTQB Certified Tester Model‑Based Tester (CT‑MBT) course equips participants with advanced methodologies to design, generate and execute tests using model‑based techniques. Based on the official ISTQB; specialist syllabus, it complements the Foundation Level by focusing on test automation through models‐such as state‑transition and workflow models;to improve test accuracy, coverage and efficiency.
This training covers motivations for MBT, integration of model‑based testing into the software development lifecycle, model creation workflows, test generation criteria, implementation strategies and deployment considerations. Participants gain hands‑on practice in developing simple MBT models, selecting test cases based on criteria, implementing and executing tests, and evaluating MBT approaches for organisational fit.
Industry demand is on the rise for professionals who can apply structured, model‑driven testing to enhance quality and reduce rework in software projects across domains including automation, agile, embedded and enterprise systems. This course is ideal for professionals looking to learn model‑based testing to boost their credentials, especially in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth or Canberra. A certificate of course attendance is included.
