About instructor1:00
Information about ISTQB4:03
Discover how the International Software Testing Qualifications Board standardizes software testing processes and terminology, offers globally recognized certifications including foundation-level exams, and supports professional development.
ISTQB Exam: Overview7:06

Static Testing Basics4:55
Work Products Examinable by Static Testing4:47
Explore which work products are examinable by static testing, including requirements, source code, test plans, and contracts, and learn how readability and structure enable effective static analysis.
Value of Static Testing3:12
Identify how static testing evaluates software artifacts without execution to enable early defect detection, quality evaluation of work products, and stakeholder confidence through reviews and static analysis.
Differences between Static Testing and Dynamic Testing3:54
Compare static testing and dynamic testing to identify defects at different stages. Emphasize their complementary strengths, early defect detection, and cost efficiency to improve software quality.
Benefits of Early and Frequent Stakeholder Feedback3:03
Review Process Activities5:19
Roles and Responsibilities in Reviews6:12
Review Types6:17
Success Factors for Reviews2:04

Test Techniques Overview7:55
Explore black box and white box test techniques, including equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision tables, state transitions, and use case testing, to support test analysis and design.
Black-Box Test Techniques4:48
Explore black-box test techniques that validate software functionality without internal access, including equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision table testing, state transition testing, and other specification-based methods.
White-Box Test Techniques7:42
Experience-based Test Techniques5:25
Collaborative User Story Writing10:43
Collaborate to write user stories using the three C's—card, conversation, and confirmation—aligning with business objectives and acceptance criteria, guided by Invest principles for value, estimable, small, and testable outcomes.
Acceptance Criteria2:46
Acceptance Test-driven Development (ATDD)8:42

Purpose and Content of a Test Plan7:29
Tester's Contribution to Iteration and Release Planning7:30
Align release planning with iterative development by refining the backlog and defining goals, while testers specify acceptance criteria, assess risks, and estimate software testing effort.
Entry Criteria and Exit Criteria7:55
Understand entry criteria and exit criteria as prerequisites and quality gates that ensure resources, artifacts, and readiness for testing, including agile definitions of ready and done.
Estimation Techniques6:36
Apply estimation techniques for test effort, including ratios, extrapolation, and three-point estimation. Incorporate wideband Delphi and planning poker, plus measurement error and historical data, to enhance planning.
Test Case Prioritization5:33
Prioritize test cases by risk, coverage, and requirements to optimize scheduling, ensure critical functionalities are tested early, and allocate resources effectively, while managing dependencies.
Test Pyramid5:15
Risk Management7:27
Test Monitoring, Test Control and Test Completion9:23
Configuration Management8:01
Explore configuration management in software testing by identifying and controlling test artifacts from plans and test cases to baselines through change control and DevOps integration for traceability and reliability.
