ISTQB Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst vizsgafelkészítő e-learning

Develop the skills to manage and lead software testing effectively. This e-learning presents a comprehensive overview of methods and techniques for deriving and specifying software tests based on the system’s implementation and structure (“white box tests”). On completing the course, attendees will be able to select and apply techniques for test case derivation, such as control flow or data flow testing as well as static and dynamic analysis. We will look at non-functional testing techniques, such as reliability testing, portability testing, performance, load and stress testing. We will also discuss how to succeed in building robust automation architectures and using a variety of tools to reach quality targets.

This certification is aimed at anyone interested in the topic of software testing who has already been working in the sector for a few years and wants to develop their skills further. If you are involved in optimizing testing processes, allocating resources, leading test teams, and ensuring effective stakeholder communication, this course will enhance your expertise. It is also a valuable preparation for those aiming to pass the ISTQB Advanced Level Test Manager certification.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Software testers
• Test analysts, test developers, test managers
• Software developers
• Project managers, quality managers, development managers, economic analysts

• ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level certificate
• At least 18 months of experience in software testing
• A basic grasp of programming
• English language skills as both the course material and the exam are in English

Accredited by ASTQB October 2021. This course follows the ISTQB Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst Syllabus v4.0.

By the end of this course, an attendee should be able to:

• Recognize and classify the typical risks associated with the performance, security, reliability, portability and maintainability of software systems.
• Provide technical elements to the planning, design and execution of tests for mitigating performance, security, reliability, portability and maintainability risks.
• Select and apply appropriate white-box test techniques to ensure that tests provide an adequate level of confidence, based on design coverage.
• Effectively participate in reviews with developers and software architects applying knowledge of typical mistakes made in code and architecture.
• Improve the quality characteristics of code and by making use of different analysis techniques.
• Outline the costs and benefits to be expected from introducing particular types of test automation.
• Select appropriate tools to automate technical testing tasks.
• Understand the technical issues and concepts in applying test automation.
