The course is divided into 4 main aspects Requirements Engineering This section looks at how testers will analyse user stories and epics using a variety of requirements engineering techniques, such as, storyboarding, Story Mapping, Personas, Diagrams and Use Cases. The Acceptance Criteria is a crucial aspect to determine whether a user story is “done” and we shall discover how acceptance criteria can be made testable with the use of test design techniques. Testing in Agile This section looks at the variety of specific Agile development and testing techniques such as Test Driven Development, Behaviour Driven Development and Acceptance Test Driven Development. Although these were discussed briefly in the Agile Foundation, more time will be spent on these aspects to uncover their commonalities and differences and how and when we should use them. Part of TDD is the concept of re-factoring, and we shall uncover why refactoring is so important within Agile and what impact this has on testing within an Agile framework. We shall also demonstrate the power of creating good quality exploratory testing charters with in an Agile project and why these are the key to success of Agile. Test Automation Test Automation is a must for almost all projects - however we will discover why Test Automation is needed even more within an Agile project. We shall look at the variety of scripting methods and in particular why data-driven and keyword-driven scripting is so important. Candidates will Understand how to apply test automation to a given test approach in an Agile environment and the various challenges that are presented. Candidates will also understand the factors to consider when determining the level of test automation needed to keep up with the speed of deployment. Deployment and Delivery Continuous Integration is now of the success factors of Agile and the fact that we can continuously develop, test and deploy in this fast pace environment. However this section will look at the various options that are provided for continuous integration and how it impacts testing activities along with the use of service virtualisation. The exam  The exam is a 1 hour 30 minute, 40 question multiple-choice exam totaling 75 points. The pass mark is 65% (49 out of 75). It is a pre-requisite that attendees hold the ISTQB Agile Tester Foundation certificate. The exam is the first day after the last course day.  [-]

Kursdato:19.-21. juni, eksamen 22. juni, kl. 09:00-10:30 A Test Automation Engineer is one who has broad knowledge of testing in general, and an in-depth understanding in the special area of test automation. An in-depth understanding is defined as having sufficient knowledge of test automation theory and practice to be able to influence the direction that an organization and/or project takes when designing, developing and maintaining test automation solutions for functional tests. The modules offered at the Advanced Level Specialist cover a wide range of testing topics.     The course is highly practical addressing the following areas: Introduction and objectives for Test Automation This section provides an introduction to test automation explaining the objectives, advantages, disadvantages and limitations of test automation as well as technical success factors of a test automation project. Preparing for Test Automation Understanding the type of system is vital for determining the most appropriate automation solution and also how we can design systems and testing for more effective automation. This section also looks at how we can evaluate for the most appropriate tools. The generic Test Automation architecture A test automation engineer has the role of designing, developing, implementing, and maintaining test automation solutions. As each solution is developed, similar tasks need to be done, similar questions need to be answered, and similar issues need to be addressed and prioritized. These reoccurring concepts, steps, and approaches in automating testing become the basis of the generic test automation architecture, and this will be discussed in detail during this section Deployment risks and contingencies This section looks at the various risks associated with the deployment of test tools and how to avoid test automation failure. Test Automation reporting and metrics Providing information to stakeholders for them to make informed decisions about the quality of the software is a vital part of testing and this section looks at the various metrics that can be used to monitor test automation and what information should be supplied to the stakeholder and how it should be presented. Transitioning manual testing to an automated environment This section looks at the various criteria to apply to determine the suitability for automation and understanding the factors for transitioning from manual to automation testing Verifying the Test Automation solution To have justified confidence in the information we supply to the stakeholders regarding test automation we must have justified confidence in the test environment and test automation solution supporting the information Continuous improvement This section looks ahead and how we can improve the automation solution making it more effective and efficient The Exam The ISTQB Advanced Test Automation Engineer exam is a 1 hour 30 minute, 40 question multiple-choice exam totaling 75 points. The pass mark is 65% (49 out of 75). It is a pre-requisite that attendees hold the ISTQB Foundation Level certificate. [-]

Blended Virtual CourseThe course is a hybrid of virtual training and self-study which will be a mixture of teaching using Microsoft Teams/Zoom for short bursts at the beginning of the day, then setting work for the rest of the day and then coming back at the end of the day for another on-line session for any questions before setting homework in the form of practice exams for the evening.
