Course Overview
The ISTQB Advanced Agile Technical Tester course extends the broad understanding of testing acquired at Foundation Level to enable the role of Agile Technical Tester to be performed.
This three-day tutor-led course includes lectures, exercises and practical work, as well as exam preparation. The examination is after the course either online or at your local Pearson VUE testing centre, so allowing adequate time for revision. It is fully-accredited by UKITB on behalf of ISTQB and has been rated SFIAplus level 5 by the BCS. The ISTQB Agile Technical Tester Advanced Level is principally aimed at test practitioners who have achieved an advanced point in their careers in software testing and are expecting to be actively involved in agile teams and technical testing, including requirements engineering, test automation and deployment and delivery, and who want to increase their knowledge and skills beyond the levels covered by the Foundation and Intermediate qualifications. This includes people in roles such as testers, test analysts, test engineers, test consultants, test managers, user acceptance testers and software developers. This Advanced Level qualification is also appropriate for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of software testing, such as project managers, quality managers, software development managers, business analysts and management consultants. Founded in 2002, ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) is a not-for-profit association comprising 66 national boards (including the UKITB) to provide worldwide coverage ISTQB has defined the Advanced certification as part of their ‘Certified Tester’ scheme that, with over 240,000 certifications, has become the de facto world-wide standard for software testing qualifications. The ‘Certified Tester’ scheme: After achieving the ISTQB Advanced Agile Technical Tester certification, you’re prepared to take the next step in your software testing career by exploring further modules within the Certified Tester Scheme. Core Stream Modules Holders of the ISTQB Advanced Agile Technical Tester certification are encouraged to explore these options to stay current with the latest practices and to enhance their professional development in the field of software testing and QA. As we all know, Agile is very much mainstream and the foremost method used to develop major application for business. In the beginning Agile was treated as a very much let’s get it done method, but lacked the controls and approach needed for quality deliveries. Until now, we have relied upon the ISTQB Foundation Agile Extension course to give us some basic Agile Testing skills (which it does very well). However, the recent launch of the ISTQB Advanced Technical Agile Tester course takes us very much beyond the Foundation and helps imbue the learning and skills required to help develop larger, more complex Agile applications. Who is the course for?

Very Informative course. John is very knowledgeable and explains things in ways which are easy to follow.

John was great, material was good. He answered all Q’s productively, made sure we understood and were happy before moving on.
Material itself, I know it’s a newer course but more past papers/sample exams would be great appreciated as I believe it’s one of the main methods to know how prepped you are for the actual exam. Having one, makes doubts about the ability to just remember the answers for a specific paper or if you genuinely understand it. That and the current document needs proof-read, a few typos etc. but nothing major individually about it.
