3 days
The work of test analysts focuses on the following activities: test case design based on customer requirements, test analysis, test execution using various testing techniques as well as the documentation of test results and the creation of defect reports. You will learn all the underlying activities in our ISTQB training for advanced practicioners.
In this ISTQB® seminar for advanced testers, the focus is on professional test methods. Besides static analysis techniques like reviews, you will learn various blackbox testing techniques and methods for the professional testing of specific quality attributes such as usability and security. Aiming at defect management, we will address how defects found in tests are documented, managed and removed. You will learn to control defects and to select and use various test tools. In addition, we focus on the teamwork and discuss skills and aspects of motivation and professional communication, which influence team selection and cooperation.
The course teaches the ISTQB® CTAL-TA (version 2019) curriculum in 3 days. After the training, you will be able to structure test activities from the business perspective, to analyze the test system in sufficient detail to meet the quality expectations of the users, to evaluate the fulfillment of technical requirements by the test objects, and to select the correct test techniques and tools. We will make sure that you can apply all the learned skills in your work as a test analyst. The course is accompanied by repetitions to the terminology of testing and its basics.
All our trainers have many years of experience in the field of software testing, and a have track record as consultants in small and big projects.
