ISTQB® Certified Tester – Foundation Level – Agile Tester | 21 & 22 November 2024 | Aartselaar
November 21 @ 9:00 am – November 22 @ 5:00 pm
Embark on a journey of professional growth and innovation with our dynamic two-day Certified Tester – Agile Tester (CTFL-AT) course.
The ISTQB® Foundation Level Agile Tester (CTFL-AT) certification provides the key testing skills necessary to successfully contribute to an Agile project or environment. CTFL-AT covers agile testing in alignment with the principles of agile software development as outlined in the Agile Manifesto. Testers on Agile projects operate differently than those working on a traditional project, necessitating a deep understanding of Agile values and principles, and how testers are an integral part of a whole-team approach.
Objectives
Here’s what lies at the core of our program:
Collaborate effectively within Agile teams: Learn to leverage Agile principles to enhance testing activities and foster collaboration within Agile teams. Understand the importance of communication, transparency, and adaptability in Agile testing environments.
Seamlessly adapt existing testing knowledge: Acquire the skills to adapt existing testing knowledge and best practices to Agile projects. Explore techniques for integrating Agile testing methodologies into traditional testing frameworks, ensuring a smooth transition for both testers and development teams.
Play a pivotal role in planning and executing test-related activities: Gain insights into the unique challenges and opportunities of planning and executing test-related activities within Agile frameworks. Learn to prioritise testing tasks, and align testing activities with project goals and timelines.
Apply diverse test methods and techniques tailored for Agile contexts: Explore a wide range of test methods and techniques specifically tailored for Agile contexts. From exploratory testing to risk-based testing, discover how to apply these methodologies effectively within Agile projects to ensure test coverage and high-quality deliverables.
Contribute to the implementation and optimisation of test automation strategies: Deepen your understanding of test automation strategies and their role within Agile projects. Learn to assess the benefits and risks of test automation, identify opportunities for automation, and implement and optimise test automation frameworks to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
Targeted audience
The Foundation Level Agile Tester certification is designed for diverse professionals who are working within Agile environments, or who are planning to start implementing Agile methods in the near future.

Seasoned developers seeking to augment their testing expertise within Agile frameworks: Developers with a background in software development will benefit from expanding their testing expertise within Agile frameworks. By understanding Agile testing principles and practices, developers can improve the quality and reliability of their code, collaborate more effectively with testers, and contribute to the overall success of Agile projects.
Test analysts, test engineers, test consultants, test managers, user acceptance testers, and software developers working in Agile organisations: Professionals working in Agile organisations across various roles will find this course essential for enhancing their understanding of Agile testing principles and techniques. By mastering Agile testing methodologies, these professionals can contribute to the success of Agile projects, drive continuous improvement, and deliver high-quality software solutions that meet customer expectations.

If you already hold the CTFL v4.0 certificate, it does not make sense to follow the CTFL-AT course nor take the AT exam, since Agile testing specificities are addressed in CTFL Syllabus version 4.
