ISTQB® Certified Tester - Testing with Generative AI (CT-GenAI) englisch language

ISTQB® Certified Tester - Testing with Generative AI (CT-GenAI) is the international certification for testers who want to use Generative AI responsbly and with real value in their daily work. Building on the Foundation Level, it guides you step by step in applying LLMs, prompt engineering and AI-supported testing techniques across the full test process - from requirements and test design to automation, reporting and continuous improvement.

You don´t just learn the fundamentals of GenAI; you work with practical examples, real prompt patterns and testing scenarios that reflect everyday challenges. You discover how to recognize and manage risks such as hallucinations, bias, privacy issues or security concerns. You also get a clear and accessible introduction to modern AI testing architectures, including RAG, fine-tuning, LLMOps and the use of AI agents.
