Eligibility

Although there aren't any mandatory prerequisites, you will get a lot more from the course if you have already hold the ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) & ISTQB CTFL-Agile Tester Certificates - as this course will not cover the fundamentals and terminology of Testing and Agile. Other recommendations are another Agile or Scrum certificate like PSM or CSM or ASF or at least reading through the Scrum guide. Check out the syllabus for more ideas and literature recommendations.

CU Cloud Test Practitioner

The cloud has changed the way applications are hosted and tested. The CU Cloud Test Practitioner (CTP) certification course focuses on essential cloud characteristics and cloud specific tests that a tester needs to know. The certification itself is independent of any specific cloud provider; however, hands-on excercises will be performed on several of these providers. A certified Cloud Test Practitioner will be able to perform various types of cloud specific tests and also understand the differences between testing the cloud and testing apps on the cloud. The course doesn't teach basics of general testing as it is expected that the examinee has that knowledge.
