TMap NEXT® Test Engineer

More and more organizations realize that the quality of IT products is a critical factor in a successful business. A good software development process is essential to the control of risks and delivery of high quality software. Structured testing provides insight into the quality of the information system and the risks present at any given point in the development lifecycle.

The Test Management Approach (TMap NEXT®) is the perfect example of a structured test approach. This is an exam for testers who want to adopt a structured approach to their work. The benefit of qualified testers to organizations and individuals is that the structured approach leads to a more efficient testing process.
