ISTQB AI Testing
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in particular are used more and more in everyday applications and systems. The ISTQB® AI Testing (CT-AI) certification extends understanding of artificial intelligence and/or deep (machine) learning, most specifically testing AI-based systems and using AI in testing, and gives answers to the above questions.
Target group
The Certified Tester AI Testing certification is aimed at anyone involved in testing AI-based systems and/or AI for testing. This includes people in roles such as testers, test analysts, data analysts, test engineers, test consultants, test managers, user acceptance testers, and software developers. This certification is also appropriate for anyone who wants a basic understanding of testing AI-based systems and/or AI for testing, such as project managers, quality managers, software development managers, business analysts, operations team members, IT directors, and management consultants.
Prerequisites
The participants must hold the ISTQB/ISEB Foundation Certificate in Software Testing. As the course material and the certification exam are in English, the participants are expected to have good command of English language.
