You know the essential test terms and the test-relevant international norms and standards. You know how to create meaningful error messages, how to monitor the error correction process, how to design error post-testing efficiently and how to plan, organize and control reviews. You can select test tools specifically and know what needs to be taken into account when introducing test tools.
Compared to the previous curriculum, which had a focus on the V-model, which follows a sequential and phase-based approach and relies more on fixed test levels with formal validation and verification, the agile practices taught in the new CTFL 4.0 curriculum from 2023 enable agile practices such as ATDD, Whole team approach, continuous integration, etc., enable more flexible and responsive development by promoting continuous collaboration, iterative improvements and early feedback.
In summary, the training imparts knowledge and techniques that, when implemented appropriately, lead to a structured, systematic approach to checking and testing. The consequence of this is an improvement in the quality of the software and cost savings.
