This Advanced Technical Test Analyst course presents a comprehensive overview of methods and techniques for deriving and specifying software tests based on the system’s requirements and design (“black box tests”) as well as its implementation and structure (“white-box tests”).

On completing the course, attendees will be able to select and apply techniques for test case derivation such as state-based testing and control flow testing as well as static and dynamic analysis. We will look at non-functional testing techniques such as reliability testing, portability testing, performance, load, and stress testing. We will also discuss how to succeed in building robust automation architectures and using a variety of tools to reach a quality target.

This course was designed by Rex Black, past President of the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB), and co-author of the International Software Testing Qualifications Board Advanced Syllabus.

Course is accredited by the ASTQB as of October 2021 and follows the  ISTQB Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst Syllabus v4.0. 

Course objectives:

• Recognize and classify the typical risks associated with the performance, security, reliability, portability and maintainability of software systems.

• Provide technical elements to the planning, design and execution of tests for mitigating performance, security, reliability, portability and maintainability risks.

• Select and apply appropriate white-box test techniques to ensure that tests provide an adequate level of confidence, based on design coverage.

• Effectively participate in reviews with developers and software architects applying knowledge of typical mistakes made in code and architecture.

• Improve the quality characteristics of code and  by making use of different analysis techniques.

• Outline the costs and benefits to be expected from introducing particular types of test automation.

• Select appropriate tools to automate technical testing tasks.

• Understand the technical issues and concepts in applying test automation.
