Testing learning path

ISTQB & SOFTWARE TESTING

Use this section when you need to make a testing decision: prepare for CTFL, choose a test-design technique, investigate a new risk or explain an observation to the team.

Start with the decision

Choose the guide that matches the work in front of you. Each one moves from a concrete situation to a small, defensible action.

Leave evidence behind

Adapt the example to a product, API or exam question. Save the risk, observation and remaining uncertainty so the next person can follow your reasoning.
