In English, the term “syllabus” (plural: “syllabi”) means:

"A summary of topics which will be covered during an academic course, or a text or lecture."

In other words:

"A summary of topics that need to be known."

ISTQB® has defined a set of Syllabi (Foundation, Advanced, Agile, Specialist) and a Glossary that together form an important compendium of Software Testing competencies.

To access and download the syllabi in the Italian version, go to the italian version of this page.

The ISTQB Glossary aims to gather existing knowledge on Software Testing terminology and to define the fundamental terminology with precision and consistency. A good understanding of the terms contained in the Glossary is quite important for passing ISTQB certification exams. Within the glossary, it is possible to identify the terms referenced in the various syllabi, and therefore determine which terms are most relevant for each specific certification exam.

The ISTQB® Add-On Practical Tester by A4Q application is designed for a seamless, student-focused learning experience. Its intuitive interface and expert AI guidance bridge the critical gap between theoretical knowledge and the hands-on application of essential testing techniques. Enhance your skillset and gain the proficiency valued by training providers and employers.

The app provides guided scenarios that let you apply concepts like boundary value analysis and equivalence partitioning. Detailed feedback pinpoints areas for improvement and explains the reasoning behind correct answers. Recommendations address the answers, providing customized advice to develop your testing approach. Accurate scoring gives you a clear baseline and demonstrates progress over time. By seeing where you excel and where you struggle, you can prioritize which techniques need further refinement.

The Certified Tester exam simulation questionnaires include questions similar in form, structure, and style to those of the actual certification exam.

ITA-STQB encourages consulting the final page of the syllabi for each individual certification to access a list of texts that focus on the ISTQB® syllabi, providing in-depth content, numerous examples, and exercises.
