ISTQB Foundation Level - Agile Tester Extension e-learning
E-learning code:
This course provides testers and test managers with an understanding of the fundamentals of testing on agile projects. You will learn how agile software development projects are organized and the various types of agile development practices in common use. You will also understand how agile development differs from traditional approaches, how to position testers in an agile organisation, the fundamental agile testing principles, practices and processes and the skills they’ll need to excel in an agile environment.
This course is ideal for testers experienced with traditional software lifecycles, entry-level testers with an interest in agile testing and experienced developers with a lot to a little knowledge of testing who work in agile projects. Testers, test analysts, test engineers, test consultants, test managers, user acceptance testers and software developers working in agile organisations will find this course useful, informative and fun.
- The course is also open to those who are not certified, but the ISTQB Foundation Level certificate is a prerequisite to take the ISTQB Foundation Level Extension Agile Tester exam
