ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level – Performance Testing (CT-PT) Training

Course Description

SkillDynamo’s ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level – Performance Testing (CT-PT) Training course develops practical, certification-relevant capability in planning, designing, executing, analyzing, and improving performance tests through workload models, measurements, diagnostics, tools, and continuous performance practices. The learning path progresses from essential concepts and analysis to implementation, evidence, evaluation, and improvement.

Learners work through realistic testing scenarios, instructor-led demonstrations, applied exercises, and structured reviews. Each topic is connected to quality risks, stakeholder responsibilities, traceability, professional judgment, and defensible test decisions.

The content is independently written for SkillDynamo using the supplied source page as the title, update-date, and topic-alignment reference. Learners finish with practical evidence, a scenario-based review, and a prioritized improvement plan.
