ISTQB Foundation – Agile Tester (CTFL-AT)

The ISTQB Foundation Level – Agile Tester (CTFL-AT) certification is designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively perform testing activities in Agile projects. Agile methodologies have transformed the software development landscape, and this course will ensure that you can adapt your testing practices to fit within this dynamic environment.

This course covers the core concepts of Agile development, focusing on how testing is integrated into Agile processes. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of the principles and values that underpin Agile methodologies, such as the Agile Manifesto and its emphasis on collaboration, customer satisfaction, and flexibility.

In Agile projects, the role of a tester is significantly different from that in traditional waterfall projects. This course will teach you how to work closely with developers, product owners, and other stakeholders to ensure that quality is built into the product from the beginning. You’ll learn about key Agile practices like Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD), which help in creating high-quality, well-tested software.

The course also addresses how to adapt traditional testing practices to Agile projects. For example, you’ll learn how to apply risk-based testing within short development cycles, ensuring that critical functionality is thoroughly tested while meeting tight deadlines. You’ll explore how continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines impact testing activities and how you can contribute to these processes to ensure seamless and rapid releases.

Another critical aspect of the Agile Tester course is understanding and participating in Agile ceremonies, such as retrospectives. You’ll learn how to provide valuable testing insights during these meetings, helping the team to identify and address issues that could affect product quality.

By the end of this course, you will be prepared to take the ISTQB Foundation Level – Agile Tester certification exam. This globally recognised certification will validate your skills in Agile testing, making you a valuable asset to any Agile team and enhancing your career prospects in the software testing industry.
