The College of Computing & Information (CCIT) offers aside from its normal tracks, a professional track that qualifies its students with the necessary professional knowledge and career advancement. Students are prepared by thorough and disciplined training and education to be ready for the practical life as professionals.
The tracks offered within the college are:
- Professional Training in Mobile Apps Programming
This course provides programming technologies, design and development related to mobile applications. Topics include accessing device capabilities, industry standards, operating systems, and programming for mobile applications using an OS Software Development Kit (SDK).
- Professional Training in Software Testing (I, II, and III)
The 3 courses (CIT3101, CIT4102, and CIT4103) prepare the student to sit for the Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) exam in CIT3101, the Certified Tester Foundation Level-Agile Tester (CTFL-AT) and Certified Tester Foundation Level-Mobile Application Tester (CTFL-MAT) exams in CIT4102, and the Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineer (CTAL-TAE) exam in CIT4103, however To get the Advanced Level certification, candidates must hold the Foundation Certificate (CTFL) and have sufficient practical experience (minimum 4 years). The 3 courses cover the following:
CIT3101: Professional Training in Software Testing I
Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) certification provides essential testing knowledge that can be put to practical use and, very importantly, explains the terminology and concepts that are used worldwide in the testing domain. CTFL is relevant across software delivery approaches and practices including Waterfall, Agile, DevOps, and Continuous Delivery. CTFL certification is recognized as a prerequisite to all other ISTQB® certifications where Foundation Level is required.
CIT4102: Professional Training in Software Testing II
Foundation Level Agile Tester (CTFL-AT) certification provides the key testing skills necessary to successfully contribute to an Agile project. CTFL-AT covers agile testing in alignment with the principles of agile software development as outlined in the Agile Manifesto. A tester on an Agile project will work differently than one working on a traditional project. Testers must understand the values and principles that underpin Agile projects, and how testers are an integral part of a whole-team approach together with developers and business representatives. Mobile Application Testing (CT-MAT) certification provides an insight into methods, techniques, and tools a professional may use to test mobile applications. It covers the required mobile project activities, roles, methods, and methodologies.
CIT4103: Professional Training in Software Testing III
Test Automation Engineer (CT-TAE) certification focuses on the design, development, and maintenance of test automation solutions. It also covers the concepts, methods, tools, and processes for automating dynamic functional tests, and the relationship of those tests to test management, configuration management, defect management, software development processes, and quality assurance. Methods described are generally applicable across a variety of software life cycle approaches, types of software systems, and test types.
- Professional Training in Multimedia (I, II, and III)
