Why Choose This Course
This CTAL-ATT course, which is taught by an instructor, emphasizes four major domains. These are requirements engineering, testing within Agile methodology, test automation, and deployment/delivery. During this course, you will learn how to turn epics and user stories into testable requirements. This would involve creating acceptance criteria and analyzing them. For example, it might require going through the user stories, recognizing any deficiencies in the requirements and ambiguities in the edge cases, before developing the system.
CTAL-ATT stands for ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level Agile Technical Tester. The certification targets those who wish to advance their technical testing skills within the Agile framework. In most organizations, testing is not just a phase at the end anymore. It’s woven into user story discovery, development, automation, and continuous delivery. That shift creates demand for testers and developers who can work comfortably with technical test design, automation approaches, and delivery pipelines, while still keeping business intent in view.
The course may either be taken individually or in groups located in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, and Perth, or by participating in a live webinar. It would help an organization that follows the Agile method when testing technologically.
A certificate of course attendance is included.
