Training Designed for the Future of Testing

Build the Skills to Use Generative AI in Software Testing

Generative AI is rapidly changing how software testing professionals analyse requirements, design tests, generate testware, automate activities and work with increasingly intelligent testing tools.

But effective use of AI requires more than knowing how to ask ChatGPT a question.

ISTQB Testing with Generative AI (CT-GenAI) training from Impimpi Technologies develops a structured understanding of how Generative AI and Large Language Models can be applied to software testing, including prompt engineering, evaluating AI-generated outputs, managing hallucinations and bias, protecting sensitive data and integrating GenAI into testing processes.

Join our live virtual ISTQB Generative AI training from anywhere across Africa, attend classroom training in South Africa, or arrange private corporate training for your testing or quality engineering team.

About the course

What Is ISTQB Testing with Generative AI?

The ISTQB Testing with Generative AI (CT-GenAI) certification is a specialist certification focused on the effective and responsible use of Generative AI within software testing.

The certification moves beyond general AI awareness to explore how testers can work with Large Language Models and other GenAI technologies to support real testing activities.

You’ll learn how to structure and refine prompts, apply GenAI to test analysis and design, support automated regression testing, evaluate AI-generated results and identify risks such as hallucinations, reasoning errors, bias, security vulnerabilities and data privacy concerns.

The syllabus also introduces more advanced concepts including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI agents, fine-tuning and LLMOps, as well as organisational strategies for adopting Generative AI within testing teams.

What Does the ISTQB Generative AI Course Cover?

The ISTQB Testing with Generative AI syllabus covers five core areas, combining GenAI concepts with their application to professional software testing.

Generative AI Foundations for Software Testing

Understand Generative AI and Large Language Models, including tokenisation, context windows, different types of LLMs, multimodal models and how AI chatbots and LLM-powered testing applications can support testing.

Prompt Engineering for Software Testing

Learn how to create structured and effective prompts and apply prompting techniques to test analysis, test design, test implementation, automated regression testing, test monitoring and test control. Evaluate AI-generated results and iteratively improve prompts for better testing outcomes.

Managing Generative AI Risks

Learn to recognise and mitigate hallucinations, reasoning errors, bias and non-deterministic AI behaviour. Explore data privacy, security, environmental impact and relevant AI regulations, standards and best-practice frameworks.

LLM-Powered Test Infrastructure

Explore how GenAI can become part of testing infrastructure through concepts such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI agents, LLM fine-tuning and LLMOps.

Deploying GenAI in Test Organisations

Understand how organisations can introduce Generative AI into their testing processes, including GenAI strategy, selecting appropriate models, managing Shadow AI, developing team capabilities and evolving existing test processes.

WHY CT-GENAI

Why Get ISTQB Testing with Generative AI Certified?

ISTQB Testing with Generative AI gives testing professionals powerful new capabilities, but using these technologies effectively requires understanding both what they can do and where they can go wrong.

Apply GenAI to Real Testing Activities

Learn how Generative AI can support test analysis, test design, implementation, regression testing, monitoring and other testing activities.

Develop Better Prompt Engineering Skills

Move beyond basic prompting and learn structured techniques for creating, evaluating and refining prompts for software testing tasks.

Evaluate AI Output Critically

Develop the ability to assess generated testware for accuracy, relevance and quality rather than simply accepting AI-generated results.

Understand and Manage AI Risks

Recognise hallucinations, reasoning errors, bias, privacy concerns and security risks that can affect the reliability of GenAI-assisted testing.

Understand the Technology Behind the Tools

Build your knowledge of LLMs, multimodal models, RAG, AI agents, fine-tuning and LLMOps so you can understand more than just the user interface of an AI tool.

Prepare for AI-Enabled Testing

Develop internationally recognised knowledge that can help you contribute to the responsible adoption of Generative AI within testing teams and organisations.

GenAI becomes much more useful when you understand where it fits into actual testing activities.

Our training connects the official ISTQB syllabus with the realities of applying AI in software testing environments.

Practical Prompt Engineering

CT-GenAI isn’t simply an AI theory course. The official syllabus includes hands-on activities covering prompting, multimodal LLMs, evaluating outputs and iterative prompt optimisation.

Understand the Risks, Not Just the Benefits

AI can produce convincing answers that are still wrong.

We help you understand where GenAI can support testing and where human judgement, verification, security awareness and responsible use remain essential.

Software Testing Specialists

We’re not a general technology training company. Software testing is our speciality.

Our work spans training, consulting and specialist recruitment, giving us a broader understanding of the skills testing professionals and organisations need.

More Than Exam Preparation

Certification matters, but so does understanding how to apply what you’ve learned.

Our goal is to help you understand the concepts, not simply memorise them for an exam.
