This is the conclusion of Paul Gerrard’s article introducing the Tester Skills Program (TSP) – a new model for testing. You can read Part 1 here and Part 2 here.
Progress and Future Plans
The Foundation Core Modules training material has been developed and was presented in a pilot class in August 2019. There was a revision to the overall structure in May 2020. An online class covering the Core Modules based on the 2020 structure was piloted in 2020.
The plan for 2021 is to refine the Core Module training further and record a series of live webinars covering the core module syllabus Q1-Q2 2021 and rebuild the online material. The Supplementary Modules material will be created in parallel and a live webinar series based on it delivered in Q3-Q4 2021. These recordings will be used as the basis of an online course to complete the Foundation level.
