A4Q Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

The A4Q Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) Foundation Level Certification has been developed by A4Q in cooperation with the German Testing Board e.V. 

This certification makes the content of the ISTQB® scheme even more accessible and relevant to developers (ISTQB® is the leading globally recognized certification scheme for testing). 

A4Q SDET adapts and optimizes the curriculum in the A4Q Testing Foundation for Developers (TF4D) Certification developed to teach developers basic skills in testing.

The goal of A4Q SDET certification is to impart basic testing skills to developers; it covers the essential knowledge from the test area that developers will find highly beneficial in their day to day work.

A4Q SDET is not intended to “retrain” developers as testers but to increase competence and confidence in effectively selecting and using relevant testing approaches, methods and techniques during the development lifecycle.

Note: The A4Q TF4D remains a valid for anyone who has already achieved certification and individuals may be grandfathered to A4Q SDET.

How do I obtain this certification?

To be certified you must pass the A4Q SDET exam.

What are the entry requirements?

There are no specific entry requirements to be eligible for this A4Q SDET certification.

Will I have to attend a course before I sign up for the exam?

No, attending a course is a choice you make at your discretion. However, we strongly recommend that you attend a training course with an accredited training provider to gain maximum benefit and to support skills development.

How does this certification benefit me?

The A4Q SDET curriculum will help participants to gain a basic understanding of testing in the software development lifecycle. All main test techniques are explained in the syllabus and static test, review processes and static analysis are given special attention. White Box & Black Box testing approaches are also covered.
