The ISTQB scheme provides support for the definition of career paths for professional testers by offering a 3-tiered certification scheme starting with the Foundation Level and continuing with the Advanced Level and Expert Level. 

The Foundation Level syllabus has an add-on, which is the Agile Tester syllabus, and this ISTQB Agile track continues with further specialized topics within the ISTQB Specialist track, e.g. the Model-Based Tester syllabus.

Kurz byl velmi zajímavý, určitě mi to pomohlo porozumět nějakým pojmům s kterými jsem se ještě nesetkala a nebo s takovými, které jsem slyšela, ale nerozuměla jim. Výborná lektorka.
