ISTQB ADVANCED TEST ANALYST - SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT SERIES - Corporate Training

Software Testing Qualifications Board Advanced Syllabus, provides test engineers with advanced skills in test analysis, design, and execution through direct instruction and group exercises. ??This ISTQB accredited hands-on course provides test engineers with the ability to define and carry out the tasks required to put the strategy into action and is ideal for testers and test teams preparing for certification. In preparation for the exam, participants will learn the subject matter behind the test standard and deepen their understanding by working through case studies and exercises. In group exercises, typical review situations are played out and analysed.

Transforming training from standard delivery to a customised learning experience.
Our training team are software specialists providing real world industry experiences, adding value to your experience with relevant discussions and examples throughout our courses.
We can deliver this course in a standard form or tailor the content to focus on a particular project, specific need or group requirement.
We can also develop a full training plan with a structured learning path.

Why Attend this Course?

1:1 Lab allowing for bespoke individual cuastomised delivery in a group setting.

What Makes this Course Stand Apart?

The course is supplemented by hands-on labs that help attendees reinforce their theoretical knowledge of the learned material.

What you will Learn?

By the end of this course participants will be able to:

• determine the required structure and level of test condition development
• describe how test analysis and design, in addition to creating dynamic tests, are also static testing techniques that can be used to discover defects
• explain the concept of a test oracle and how test oracles can be used in test specifications
• describe the pre-conditions for test execution, including testware, test environment, configuration management and defect management
• determine from a given set of test metrics whether a test completion criterion has been fulfilled
• prioritise test case selection, test coverage, and test data creation, based on risk, documenting this appropriately in a test schedule and test procedure
• outline the activities of a risk-based approach for planning and executing testing
• list examples of typical defects to be identified by each specification-based technique, providing corresponding coverage criteria
• write test cases from given software models using the test design techniques of equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision tables, state transition testing, classification tree method, pairwise testing and use cases
• describe the principles and reasons for defect-based techniques and differentiate their use from specification and structure-based techniques
• explain defect taxonomies and their use
• understand the principle of and reasons for using experienced-based test techniques and when to use them
• specify, execute, and report tests using exploratory testing
• analyse a system in order to determine which specification-based, defect-based, or experienced-based techniques to apply for specific goals
• explain what testing techniques are appropriate to test for accuracy, suitability, interoperability, functional security, and accessibility characteristics
• outline, design, specify, and execute usability tests using appropriate techniques, to cover given test objectives and defects to be targeted
• explain the reasons for including efficiency, reliability, and technical security tests in a testing strategy and provide examples of expected defects
• characterise non-functional test types for technical testing by typical defects to be targeted, typical application within the application lifecycle, and test techniques for test design
• use a review checklist to verify code and architecture from a tester’s perspective
• use a review checklist to verify requirements and use cases from a tester’s perspective
• compare review types and show their relative strengths, weaknesses, and appropriate usage
• analyse, classify, and describe functional and non-functional defects in understandable defect reports
• summarise the test tool categories by objectives, intended use, strengths and risks, using examples
• map various testing tools to different levels and types of testing
• describe professional, objective, and effective communication in a project from the tester’s perspective.

This course is ideal for testers and test teams who are looking to build on their existing software testing skills. This course also prepares you to sit the ISTQB Advanced Test Analyst exam and obtain your ISTQB Advanced Test Analyst certificate, if that’s important to you.

Reading the ISTQB Advanced Syllabus prior to the course would be a great advantage.
