The ISTQB® has released version 4.3 of its popular Glossary App introducing ex-
citing new features.
Quiz
The new quiz supports users in practicing the keywords of a syllabus as a
game. It provides them with feedback on how well they have mastered the ter-
minology. This innovative feature uses artificial intelligence to select different
answer options from the glossary with similar meanings. It can also be used in
any supported language.
Graphs
A new menu item highlights the graphs that visualize the relationships among
the Glossary terms. The first group of graphs contains mind maps of the key-
words of ISTQB®*s most popular product, the Foundation Level Syllabus. Other
graphs will be added in the future.
Right-to-left scripting
The multilingual ISTQB® Glossary App now also supports languages with right-
to-left scripting (e.g. Hebrew, Arabic). We are happy to share that the Israeli
Testing Certification Board already imported its Glossary translations. Arabic
translations are expected later this year.
Matthias Hamburg, Chair of the ISTQB® Glossary Working Group commented,
‘Artificial intelligence has made our quiz enjoyable. It makes my day when it
gives me an “excellent”. I am also particularly pleased that we are already able
to support the 22nd language, Hebrew.’
