This Halloween, embrace the power of AI in software testing! 🎃 With the A4Q Practical Tester, iSQI is excited to offer you an AI-driven tool that adds a new dimension to skill-building in the testing field. Imagine having instant, intelligent feedback to enhance your testing techniques — AI is with you every step of the way, helping you refine, learn, and certify practical testing skills that are valued globally.
In software testing, companies generally prioritize practical skills over theoretical knowledge. They look for testers who can actively ensure software quality. The A4Q Practical Tester training tool supports this by offering hands-on exercises with instant AI-powered feedback. This feedback helps users understand what they did right, where they went wrong, and how to improve their test cases to fit the given scenarios. This tool also serves as a competency assessment, much like other certification schemes.
With the A4Q Practical Tester certification, professionals can demonstrate practical testing skills, which are recognized internationally and supported by ISTQB® boards in various countries. This training is valuable for both new and experienced testers: newcomers can develop applied skills, while seasoned testers can stay updated on emerging techniques. The certification closely aligns with ISTQB® Foundation Level (CTFL 4.0), ensuring relevance to current best practices.
The training covers key testing techniques at the application level on Bloom's taxonomy, focusing purely on applied knowledge rather than basic theory.
The A4Q Practical Tester certification includes various testing techniques such as equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision tables, and state transition. It even goes further than the ISTQB Foundation Level by combining techniques for real-world application scenarios.
For practical learning, the tool offers a range of interactive features, including a demo and “Learn More” buttons for each technique. Users can respond to open-ended questions, receiving detailed AI feedback on their answers. If a response is incomplete, AI suggestions guide users in improving. The tool also includes a sample exam that emulates the real testing environment, with structured feedback for each response. Results from each sample exam track your progress over time, building confidence for the proctored certification exam.
The A4Q Practical Tester certification exam is 60 minutes long and covers 15 questions that require typed responses. This allows for a more nuanced demonstration of knowledge compared to traditional multiple-choice tests. You need a score of at least 65% to pass. The exam and training materials are currently available in English, German, and French, with more languages in development.
