Popis kurzu
This 3-day course focuses on the skills required to manage the testing of software in a variety of lifecycle and project contexts. The course is accredited by the ISTQB® and leads to the ISTQB Advanced Test Manager Certificate v2019. Our training includes exercises and practice exam questions to highlight key aspects of the syllabus, to help participants understand and practice the concepts and methods presented and to prepare them for the certification exam.Cíle kurzu
An Advanced Level Test Analyst can:
- perform the appropriate testing activities based on the software development lifecycle being used;
- determine the proper prioritization of the testing activities based on the information provided by the risk analysis;
- select and apply appropriate test techniques to ensure that tests provide an adequate level of confidence, based on defined coverage criteria;
- provide the appropriate level of documentation relevant to their testing activities;
- determine the appropriate types of functional testing to be performed;
- work effectively in a usability testing team;
- effectively participate in requirements / user story reviews with stakeholders, applying knowledge of typical mistakes made in work products;
- improve the efficiency of the test process with the use of tools
Určeno pro
Advanced level courses are suitable for anyone who is interested in progressing an established career in software testing. This includes people in roles such as testers, test analysts, test engineers, test consultants, test team leads, test managers, user acceptance testers and software developers. They may also be of interest to anyone who wants a deeper than Foundation level understanding of software testing, such as project managers, quality managers, software development managers, business analysts, IT directors and management consultants. The Advanced Test Manager course is particularly aimed at testers who will soon or have already started to take responsibility for the delivery of testing.Obsah kurzu
