ISTQB Certified Tester - Testing with Generative AI (CT-GenAI)

Discover the power of generative AI for Software Testing. Explore ways to utilize generative AI to improve your professional test process and everyday test activities.

The ISTQB Certified Tester – Testing with Generative AI (CT-GenAI) extends foundation Level and provides testing and quality-engineering professionals with a structured, hands-on path to master how, when, and why to use Large Language Models (LLMs) and other generative-AI techniques across the entire test process – from requirements analysis and test design to automation, reporting, and continuous improvement.

By the end of the course, you will be able to understand the fundamentals of GenAI ,but also builds practical skills through real-world prompt-engineering patterns and applied testing use cases. Testers will learn how to integrate GenAI capabilities responsibly while managing key risks such as hallucinations, bias, security, privacy, and environmental impact.
