Course Overview
The ISTQB Foundation AI in Software Testing Course extends the broad understanding of testing acquired at Foundation Level to enable the role of AI Tester to be performed.
This four-day tutor-led AI in software testing course includes lectures, exercises and practical work, as well as exam preparation. The examination is held a day or so after the course to allow time for revision. It is fully-accredited by UKITB on behalf of ISTQB and has been rated SFIAplus level 3 by the BCS. The AI in software testing course is suitable for those who are, or expect to be, working on projects that have AI at their heart. It is aimed at those who seek a practical application of the core software testing material covered at ISTQB Foundation level on all projects that work with AI. The Certified Tester AI Testing (CT-AI) qualification is aimed at people who are seeking to extend their understanding of artificial intelligence and/or deep (machine) learning, most specifically testing AI based systems and using AI to test. Founded in 2002, ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) is a not-for-profit association comprising 66 national boards (including the UKITB) to provide worldwide coverage ISTQB has defined the Advanced certification as part of their ‘Certified Tester’ scheme that, with over 240,000 certifications, has become the de facto world-wide standard for software testing qualifications. The ‘Certified Tester’ scheme: After achieving the ISTQB Foundation AI for Software Testers certification, you’re prepared to take the next step in your software testing career by exploring further modules within the Certified Tester Scheme. Core Stream Modules Holders of the ISTQB Foundation AI for Software Testers certification are encouraged to explore these options to stay current with the latest practices and to enhance their professional development in the field of software testing and QA. As we all know, Artificial Intelligence has been the big thing over the last few years, with new uses and applications being developed all the time to help make our lives better. But what it is all about, and just how do we test new systems and application that deliver AI solutions. It is true that many test techniques remain relevant, but it is radically different.Who is the course for?

Suggestion: Every morning starts with a recap of the previous day’s training.
A few suggestions for the .pdf-files:
– Exercise guide section 18.1 step 10 : The parameter in Weka, which you need to set to 300, is called numIterations in version 3.8 of Weka. In version 3.7 and earlier it was called numTrees.
– the .arff-files are .csv files, but cannot be opened in all non-English versions of Excel. Eg. the Danish version use “;” – not “,” – as separator.
Jamie Harwood| Senior developer in test|VML –
The course was engaging and interesting, with a strong focus on understanding AI fundamentals that built to integrating testing into AI development and AI into testing. It was a good mix of lectures, group exercises and solo work. If I had one suggestion for improvement, it would be to include more practical work around testing AI-based systems specifically (e.g., examples of how to apply some of the more theoretical techniques we have learned)
Lizzie England| Operational systems manager|DofE –
I thought the content of the course was outdated. The slides used in the sessions were unhelpful and we weren’t following the content in the order was presented to us at the start of the course. There was no explanation why that was the case. Homework wasn’t corrected among the rest of the attendees which is always good for reinforcing learning. At no point did the instructor help us by reinforcing learning or recapping on what we had done that day. Poor content and poor delivery.

Excellent trainer, very engaging – made the course content (which can be dry at time) very easy to consume and retain interest. Thoroughly recommend Rosie to run training courses
Thanapol Wisuttikul | Senior Research Assistant | NECTEC –
The instructor explained and gave examples, making the learner understood the material better. The learning material is summarized syllabus, making content easier to understand.
