ISTQB Advanced Technical Test Analyst Module

Course Overview

The ISTQB Advanced Technical Test Analyst Module course is designed to build upon the ISTQB Foundation Level Certificate, leading to the ISTQB Advanced Technical Test Analyst Certification. This four-day course focuses on technical test analyst issues, including producing test documentation, choosing and applying appropriate specification-based, structure-based, defect-based, and experience-based test design techniques, and specifying test cases to evaluate software characteristics.

Key Learning Areas

Test Techniques: Specification-Based: Learn and apply test design techniques such as equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision tables, and state transition testing.
Test Techniques: Structure-Based: Understand and use structure-based test design techniques including statement testing, decision testing, condition determination testing, and multiple condition testing.
Test Techniques: Defect and Experience-Based: Explore defect-based techniques and their differentiation from specification-based and structure-based techniques. Learn techniques like error guessing, checklist-based testing, exploratory testing, and attacks, and determine the best fit techniques for various applications.
Static Analysis: Gain an understanding of control flow and data flow defects, and how static analysis tools can assist in identifying these defects.
Dynamic Analysis: Learn about dynamic analysis and its importance in identifying various memory-related defects.
Test of Software Characteristics: Focus on testing both the functionality and behavior of the system. Analyze techniques to test characteristics such as technical security, reliability, efficiency, performance, maintainability, and portability.
Test Automation: Gain insights into keyword-driven scripting for test execution tools, understand how performance tools work, and learn about tools that assist technical testers.
