ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Manager
5 days
Test managers are responsible planning and communication talents. They create the test concept, define the test strategy, plan the resources and coordinate and control all test activities of a project. Typical tasks also include the selection of suitable test methods and test tools, as well as the technical and people-oriented management of the test team. If you already have sound experience in software testing and are interested in the role of a test manager, then this ISTQB training course is the right one for you.
In this ISTQB® advanced level seminar, we will familiarize you with the test management and all planning and control tasks, and the methods for dealing with these tasks. Besides the integration of testing activities in the software lifecycle, we will address the special demands on the tester’s personality.
The course teaches the ISTQB® curriculum in 5 days. We will examine the entire test process, its phases, tasks and results, and make sure that you will be able to manage the quality assurance of software products.
