Advanced Tester Certification—Test Automation Engineer

Prepare for the ISTQB® Advanced Level—Test Automation Engineer Certification Exam

This course provides participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement automation for software projects. The course focuses on the concepts, methods, tools, and processes for automating dynamic functional tests and the relationship of those tests to test management, configuration management, defect management, software development, and quality assurance processes.

Methods described are generally applicable across a variety of software lifecycle approaches (e.g., agile, sequential, incremental, iterative), types of software systems (e.g., embedded, distributed, mobile), and test types (functional and non-functional testing). Real-world practical exercises reinforce learning objectives, strengthen the understanding and application of topics in the course and prepare participants for the exam.
