Are you ready to take your software testing exam?

If you attend one of TSG’s classroom courses you’ll have the opportunity to prepare with confidence for your ISEB/ISTQB certificated exam with accredited sample papers and mock exams and supplemented by the help and support of your course tutor. But this FREE version of TSG’s software testing training app gives you an opportunity to test your skills right now.

It includes sample multiple choice questions from the current ISEB and ISTQB syllabi, including ISEB/ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation, ISEB Intermediate, ISTQB Advanced Test Manager, ISTQB Advanced Test Analyst and ISTQB Advanced Technical Test Analyst courses. And it allows you to monitor your pass rates and move up one level at a time. It will even help to increase your knowledge by providing in depth answers and explanations to each question.

It’s a quick and easy way to see if you’re ready for the real exam and will always pick up from the place you left off, so it’s handy if you only have a few spare minutes while travelling or waiting for a train. It is also great fun to share answers and discuss explanations with your friends and colleagues.

Also included are real time Twitter and LinkedIn updates and news articles from the TSG website and the BCS. And there’s even a chance to get a flavour of each course subject matter before you decide which one to take.

Give it a try and let us know how you get on. And don’t forget to check back for future updates which include new questions, new levels and games.
