ISTQB is an international software testing qualifications board. International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) is a special training program designed for IT professionals in QA specialisation or for those that are interested in starting their career as testers. Testers who want to build or improve their skills in testing and solidify their knowledge on testing skills can opt for this ISTQB certification Training.This foundation level ISTQB program will provide the fundamentals of testing through practical techniques with a hands-on approach.

ISTQB certification is the basic requirement in almost all organizations for software testers, so this is a skill requirement for applying for jobs. As this is Foundation training there will be a standardized approach for software testing that can be adapted to the projects. The ISTQB certificate is highly valued and holds supreme importance as it is a professional certificate that validates all the cardinal skills. We at mKish Tech train you to become competent enough for the certification exam by offering a beginner and advanced level curriculum.

Course Objectives:

• Understand concepts within ISTQB framework and its realtime usage
• Make use of tools to tailor out the existing applications to test
