| T2 ISTQB® - Advanced Level, Test Management Upgrade |
| Prof. Paul Jorgensen, Grand State Valley University (USA) |
|
| Morning Tutorial 9.00 am - 12.30 pm |

The ISTQB® Advanced Level Syllabus supports three types of certification: test managers, functional testers (also called domain testers), and technical testers. These levels correspond to levels of test-ing detail: management, project, and detailed views have varying degrees of mastery. The mastery levels are based on Benjamin Bloom’s taxonomy of learning mastery.
Agenda
- Overview of the Advanced Level Syllabus
- Discussion of Bloom’s Knowledge Levels
- Knowledge Mastery for Test Managers
- Comparison of the ISTQB® Advanced Level with other tester certification schemes

| T4 Gaining Control on IT Quality and Processes through Test Policy and Test Organization |
| Jos van Rooyen, LogicaCMG (D) |
|
| Afternoon Tutorial 1.30 pm - 5.00 pm |
| |
In this tutorial a vision will be presented, and a corresponding approach for getting grip on quality and processes by implementing a test policy and setting up an effective test organization. This approach is based on experience in various organizations. When organizations get more mature a top-down approach to creating the test policy and derived test organization is inevitable.
- What is a test policy and how is it defined
- How is an effective test organization derived from the test policy
- Which advantages does a good test policy to your organization

Conversions of software are becoming common projects in which testing – assuring the same functionality – is an important issue. Acceptance criteria are defined and based on that the test strategy is defined (TMap Next is used). Tooling is always important to consider. Comparison tools prove to be helpful.
This tutorial is based on real life experience and a case.
- Conversions, what makes them special
- Test strategy for a conversion
- Comparison tools – how they work
