ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level - Automotive Software Tester english language

In this seminar we teach the content of the official syllabus (CTFL-AuT) of the ISTQB®. In addition, our trainers will introduce you to as many practical examples as possible, so that you will later find it easy to apply what you have learned.

I. IntroductionRequirements from project goals and product complexity, project aspects influenced by norms and standards, six generic phases in the system life cycle, the tester's contribution to the release process

II. Norms and standards for testing E/ES systems

Automotive SPICE (ASPICE)Composition and structure of the standard, as well as requirements through the standard

ISO 26262Functional safety and safety culture, classification of the tester in the safety life cycle, structure and test-specific parts of the standardInfluence of criticality on test scopesApplication of the knowledge known from ISTQB® CTFL in the context of ISO 26262

AUTOSARGoals and structure of AUTOSAR and the influence of AUTOSAR on the tester's work

III. testing in a virtual environmentTest environments in general, motivation for a test environment in the automotive environment, general components of a test environment,Differences between Closed-Loop and Open-Loop,Essential interfaces, databases and communication protocols of a control unit

Testing in XiL test environmentsModel in the Loop (MiL),Software in the Loop (SiL),Hardware in the Loop (HiL),Comparison of the XiL test environments

IV. Special static and dynamic test proceduresIn addition to the CTFL curriculum, other static test procedures are used: MISRA-C:2012 programming guidelines and quality features for reviews of requirements.As additional dynamic test procedures, the condition test (multiple condition test, modified condition/decision test) will be discussed, as well as the special features of back-to-back tests, error insertion tests, requirements-based testing and the context-dependent selection of test procedures.
