ISTQB CT-QDO

Описание

The ISTQB® Certified Tester Quality in DevOps (CT-QDO) certification introduces modern quality assurance and testing practices within DevOps environments. It helps testers, quality engineers, developers, and operations professionals understand how quality can be integrated across continuous delivery pipelines, collaborative workflows, and automated deployment processes. Participants learn how to support fast feedback, resilient systems, and shared responsibility for quality through continuous testing and quality engineering practices.

• Learn about the “wall of confusion” and how collaboration improves software delivery.
• Explore DORA metrics and how delivery and operational performance are measured.
• Understand how quality assurance supports the three ways of DevOps.
• Recognize the benefits, risks, and common pitfalls of DevOps adoption.
• Differentiate DevOps team roles, patterns, and anti-patterns.
• Gain insight into Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and resilience practices.

Chapter 2: Quality Assurance in DevOps

• Learn how to implement quality assurance activities within DevOps workflows.
• Compare testing objectives in DevOps, Agile, and sequential development models.
• Understand continuous testing and its role in CI/CD pipelines.
