Audience

The ISTQB® Certified Tester Quality in DevOps certification supports people involved in software development based on DevOps in applying proper quality and test activities to achieve the right quality level for their solutions.

The syllabus is particularly valuable for anyone who sits at the intersection of quality and DevOps – testers, test analysts, test engineers, test automation engineers, test managers, quality leads, software developers, DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers, operations engineers, scrum masters, and product owners – since it establishes a common language and methodology for quality engineering across the entire DevOps team. This aligns well with the DevOps principle that quality is everyone’s responsibility, not just the tester’s.

The ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL),v4.0 or previous versions, is a prerequisite for the CT-QDO certification.
