TARGET AUDIENCE

Candidates must already hold the BCS Foundation Certificate in Software Testing.

ACCREDITATION

A key aim of the examination is to provide candidates with an opportunity to think through the implications of the context of a question, rather than simply selecting from a choice of options so practical experience can be applied.
