Covid-19 Response: All public training classes and exams will be run virtually until further notice.

This seminar promotes the contents of the ISTQB® syllabus and is accredited by the ISTQB®, Canadian Software Testing Board (CTSB), Germany Testing Board (GTB). You will be ideally prepared to participate in the examination to obtain the ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Test Manager.

There is no better ISTQB® accredited training to prepare for the ISTQB Certification exam.

The course addresses typical tasks and problems faced by a project or test manager. 

It develops the skills you will need for operative test management, enabling you to successfully plan, control, and monitor software testing in your projects. You will become familiar with methods of strategic test management, which you can use to introduce, establish, and continually improve software testing and reviewing. With these methods, software testing will become an effective, firmly embedded and tool-supported process in your business. 

You will get to know a range of documents for planning tests, that comply with international norms and standards, and you will be introduced to the basics and interrelations of the incident, risk, and test management. You will learn which data on quality and error statistics can be captured during the testing procedure and how decisions on product releases can be made, based on objective data obtained during testing. 

You will get an overview of different organizational forms of software testing and their potential advantages and disadvantages. Thus, you will be able to come to a well-based decision on the organizational structure that best suits your specific situation. 

The topic area “test process improvement” addresses the permanent challenge for test managers to adapt and enhance the applied processes. To meet this challenge, you will get to know different project improvement models and you will learn how to use them.
