Study Notes

Foundation Level Specialist CTFL-Automotive Software Tester (CTFL-AuT)

The syllabus does not differentiate between male and female users, following an approach of equality.

Introduction

A learning objective of a higher level of taxonomy implies the learning objectives of the lower levels.
The seven principles of software testing include "Testing is context dependent".
The environment of E/E development, which an "Automotive Software Tester" acts in, is outlined.
Divergent objectives, increasing complexity, and high pressure for innovation lead to special challenges.
Standards and the lifecycle of vehicles form the framework, which the tester is working in.

Learning Objectives and Cognitive Levels of Knowledge

Each paragraph of the syllabus is assigned to a cognitive level: K1 (remember), K2 (understand), K3 (apply), or K4 (analyse).
The learning objectives define what the trainee should have learned after finishing the corresponding paragraph/chapter/module.
The content of learning objectives marked as [informative] are to be taught by the training provider within a suitable timeframe, but are not relevant for the exam.

Syllabus Structure

The syllabus consists of four main chapters.
Each main headline of a chapter shows the most challenging category of learning objectives/highest cognitive level, which is to be covered by the respective chapter, and defines the training time.
Each chapter contains several sub-chapters, which can also define learning objectives and a timeframe.

Terms

The trainee should be able to reproduce all terms mentioned in the paragraph directly underneath the headline "Terms" (K1), even if it is not explicitly mentioned in the learning objectives.
The definitions of the ISTQB Glossary and the national translations in the approved versions (incl. the additional terms from the present syllabus) apply.

Exam

Based on this syllabus, there is an additional exam for the domain-specific certificate Foundation Level Specialist Automotive Software Tester.
An exam question can ask for subject matters from several chapters of the syllabus.

Automotive Software Tester Role

An Automotive Software Tester can collaborate effectively in a test team, adapt test techniques to specific project requirements, consider basic requirements of relevant standards, support the test team in risk-oriented planning, and apply virtual test methods in test environments.
