Certification Certified Tester Testing with Generative AI (CT-GenAI)

Certified Tester Testing with Generative AI (CT-GenAI) concerns using generative AI to support testing. This ISTQB pathway examines how such tools can contribute to a tester's work while recognising the risks and limitations of their responses. Generated content should not automatically be treated as a relevant test case or a verified conclusion about software quality.

Preparation can compare instructions, examine generated suggestions and discuss how a professional would validate them. Examples should also consider the information shared with the tool and the traceability of the work. Human review of generated results provides a reference point for responsible use. Training should match the syllabus objectives and the examination provider's prerequisites. This pathway differs from CT-AI, which concerns testing AI-based systems themselves. The subjects can complement each other, but they answer different questions and require clarity about what is being tested and what is assisting the tester.
