The Foundation Level provides a very broad introduction to the whole discipline of

software testing. As a result coverage of topics is variable, with some only briefly

mentioned and others studied in some detail. The arrangement of the syllabus and

the required levels of understanding are explained in the next section.

The authors of the syllabus have aimed it at people with varying levels of experi-

ence in testing, including those with no experience at all. This makes the certificate

accessible to those who are or who aim to be specialist testers, but also to those who

require a more general understanding of testing, such as project managers and

software development managers. One specific aim of this qualification is to prepare

certificate holders for the next level of certification, but the Foundation Level has

sufficient breadth and depth of coverage to stand alone.

THE CERTIFIED TESTER FOUNDATION LEVEL SYLLABUS

Syllabus content and structure

The syllabus is broken down into six main sections, each of which has associated

with it a minimum contact time that must be included within any accredited

training course:

1) Fundamentals of testing (155 minutes)

2) Testing throughout the software life cycle (115 minutes)

3) Static techniques (60 minutes)

4) Test design techniques (285 minutes)

5) Test management (170 minutes)

6) Tool support for testing (80 minutes)

The relative timings are a reliable guide to the amount of time that should be

spent studying each section of the syllabus. These timings are further broken

down for each topic within a section.

Each section of the syllabus also includes a list of learning objectives that

provides candidates with a guide to what they should know when they have

completed their study of a section and a guide to what can be expected to be

asked in an examination. The learning objectives can be used to check that

learning or revision is adequate for each topic. In the book, which is structured

around the syllabus sections, we have presented the learning objectives for each

section at the beginning of the relevant chapter, and the summary at the end of

each chapter confirms how those learning objectives have been addressed.

Finally, each topic in the syllabus has associated with it a level of understanding,

represented by the legend K1, K2, K3 or K4:

Level of understanding K1 is associated with recall, so that a topic labelled

K1 contains information that a candidate should be able to remember but not

necessarily use or explain.

SOFTWARE TESTING

Level of understanding K2 is associated with the ability to explain a topic or

to classify information or make comparisons.

Level of understanding K3 is associated with the ability to apply a topic in a

practical setting.

Level of understanding K4 is associated with the ability to analyse a situation

or a set of information to determine what action to take.

The level of understanding influences the level and type of questions that can

be expected to be asked about that topic in the examination. More detail about

the question style and about the examination is given in Chapter 7. Example

questions, written to the level and in the formats used in the examination, are

included within each chapter to provide generous examination practice.

Syllabus map

The syllabus can usefully be viewed as a mind map, as shown in Figure 0.1.

In this representation the main sections of the syllabus, corresponding to

chapters in the book, provide the first level of ordering. The next level provides

the breakdown into topics within each section. In most cases the syllabus breaks

topics down even further, but this level of breakdown is omitted from the diagram

for clarity. Figure 0.1 enables the entire syllabus to be viewed and is potentially

useful as a tracking mechanism to identify visually which parts of the syllabus

need most attention and which parts you feel are well understood. By recognising

the relative strengths and weaknesses by topic within sections it is easier to

understand the nature and extent of the weakness. For example, problems

with certain black-box techniques that are not also associated with white-box

techniques and experience-based techniques should give confidence in the overall

section on test case design techniques. It is also possible to identify how many

marks are ‘at risk’ from this weakness so that you can plan where to spend most

revision time and, perhaps, decide which weaknesses you feel able to leave until

after the examination.

RELATIONSHIP OF THE BOOK TO THE SYLLABUS

The book is structured into chapters that mirror the sections of the syllabus so

that you can work your way through the whole syllabus or select topics that are

of particular interest or concern. The structure enables you to go straight to

the place you need, with confidence either that what you need to know will

be covered there and nowhere else, or that relevant cross references will be

provided.

Each chapter of the book incorporates the learning objectives from the syllabus

and identifies the required level of understanding for each topic. Each chapter

also includes examples of typical examination questions to enable you to assess

your current knowledge of a topic before you read the chapter, and further

questions at the end of each chapter to provide practice in answering typical

examination questions. Topics requiring K3 level of understanding are presented

with worked examples as a model for the level of application expected from real

examination questions. Answers are provided for all questions, and the rationale

for the correct answer is discussed for all practice questions.

A final chapter explains the Foundation Level examination strategy and provides

guidance on how to prepare for the examination and how to manage the

examination experience to maximise your own performance.

HOW TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THIS BOOK

This book is designed for use by different groups of people. If you are using the

book as an alternative to attending an accredited course you will probably find

the first method of using the book described below to be of greatest value. If you

are using the book as a revision aid you may find the second approach more

appropriate. In either case you would be well advised to acquire a copy of the

syllabus (available from www.istqb.org) and a copy of the sample examination

paper (available from ISEB) as reference documents, though neither is essential

and the book stands alone as a learning and revision aid.

Using the book as a learning aid

For those of you using the book as an alternative to attending an accredited course

the first step is to familiarise yourself with the syllabus structure and content by

skim reading the opening sections of each chapter where the learning objectives

are identified for each topic. You may then find it helpful to turn to Chapter 7 and

become familiar with the structure of the examination and the types and levels of

questions that you can expect in the examination. From here you can then work

through each of the six main chapters in any sequence before returning to

Chapter 7 to remind yourself of the main elements of the examination.

For each chapter begin by attempting the self-assessment questions at the

beginning to get initial confirmation of your level of confidence in the topics

covered by that chapter. This may help you to prioritise how you spend your

time. Work first through the chapters where your knowledge is weakest,

attempting all the exercises and following through all the worked examples.

Read carefully through the chapters where your knowledge is less weak but

still not good enough to pass the exam. You can be more selective with exer-

cises and examples here, but make sure you attempt the practice questions at

the end of the chapters. For the areas where you feel strong you can use the

chapter for revision, but remember to attempt the practice questions to

confirm positively your initial assessment of your level of knowledge. Every

chapter contains a summary section that reiterates the learning objectives,

so reading the first and last sections of a chapter will help you to understand

how your current level of knowledge relates to the level required to pass the

examination. The best confirmation of this is to attempt questions at the

appropriate K level for each topic; these are provided in the book.
