ISTQB Testing with Generative AI (CT-GenAI)

Gain new insights and certification in applying Generative AI to software testing

Learning objectives

Do you want to future-proof your testing skills? This specialist course gives you a comprehensive introduction to how Generative AI (GenAI) and large language models (LLMs) can be used throughout the testing lifecycle – from requirements and test design to automation and test control.

The course is ISTQB-accredited and concludes with an internationally recognized certification.

Learning outcomes

During this course, you will:

  • Understand the fundamental concepts, capabilities, and limitations of Generative AI
  • Gain hands-on skills in prompt engineering for testing purposes
  • Learn to identify and mitigate risks such as hallucinations, bias, and data security issues in AI-driven testing
  • Explore LLM-based architecture and infrastructure for testing and automation
  • Acquire knowledge on how to integrate GenAI into your test organization and drive change

After the course, you will be equipped to contribute to the development and implementation of a GenAI testing strategy in your organization.

Target audience

This course is for professionals who already hold an ISTQB Foundation certificate and work in roles such as tester, test analyst, test manager, automation engineer, developer, product owner, or business analyst.

It is also relevant for project managers, quality assurance leaders, and IT decision-makers looking to understand the possibilities and risks of applying AI in testing.

Course format

The course combines theory and practice. You’ll participate in instructor-led presentations, real-world examples, group discussions, and hands-on exercises. Expect high participant engagement and practical takeaways you can apply immediately.

 

Practical information

  • Duration: 2 days
  • Language: Instruction, materials, and exam in English
  • Preparation: Approx. 5–10 hours of reading before the course
  • Exam: Online 60-minute multiple-choice exam (40 questions, 65% correct answers required to pass)

In-house training

If you are more than 5 people from same organisation, it can be beneficial to consider the course as in-house training. We conduct the course exclusively for your employees, either as standard as described or tailored to your needs.

In-house training offers several benefits. It can lead to financial savings when training more than five people. This approach fosters intensive exchange of experiences and encourages knowledge sharing among employees. Additionally, it helps in building a common understanding of the subject matter among the workforce. Furthermore, in-house training provides the opportunity for unique customization based on a company’s specific methods and processes.
