ASTQB Mobile Testing Certificate eLearning Course by Planit and Knowit

Enter the mobile testing arena with this certified course by the American Software Testing Qualifications Board.

Because mobile projects tend to be fast-paced and the devices and user profiles are so widely varied, traditional testing approaches may not meet the needs of the project. A new set of skills is required to effectively plan, organise and execute the testing of mobile projects.

This course will show how to prioritise the testing, how to work with the project team to quantify the risks, determine the best tools to use for the testing, and accomplish the testing efficiently within tight time constraints.

Target Audience

Participants should have a general understanding of test design, processes and terminology. An ISTQB Foundation certificate is recommended, but not required.

The course will benefit Testers of any level who are or will be working on mobile projects that want to gain a general understanding of the testing involved and the required certification.
