We recommend the training program to those testers who wish to gain advanced expertise in test analysis, test design and execution, focusing mainly on functional testing. By mastering the material, learners will be able to interpret and execute testing strategies suited to the situation.
For software testers working or aiming to work in test planning and the preceding analysis and for those who wants to take the ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Analyst exam.
Successful ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level exam and 18 months of hands-on experience in software testing,
This comprehensive program is also available in self-paced online learning format!
This comprehensive program provides test engineers with advanced skills in test analysis, design and execution. This hands-on program provides test engineers with the ability to define and carry out the tasks required to put the test strategy into action. The comprehensive program will teach participants how to analyze a system, taking into account the users' quality expectations. They will gain expertise in how to evaluate system requirements as part of formal and informal reviews, using their understanding of the business domain to determine requirement validity. participants will know how to analyze, design, implement and execute tests, using risk considerations to determine the appropriate effort and priority for tests. They will be able to report on testing progress and provide necessary evidence to support their evaluations of system quality. participants will gain expertise in how to implement a testing effort that supports explicit and implicit testing objectives.
By the end of this comprehensive program, participants should be able to:
• Perform the appropriate testing activities based on the software engineering life-cycle being used.
• Determine the proper prioritization of the testing activities based on the information provided by the risk analysis.
• Select and apply appropriate testing techniques to ensure that tests provide an adequate level of confidence, based on defined coverage criteria.
• Provide the appropriate level of documentation relevant to the testing activities.
• Determine the appropriate types of functional testing to be performed.
• Assume responsibility for the usability testing for a given project.
• Contribute to defect prevention.
Besides the theoretical background and exercises, attendants acquire detailed information about the ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Analyst exam, and we will practice sample exam questions during the comprehensive program.
