"Certified Agile Tester" info sheet training.
Description
More and more organizations are moving from a traditional waterfall method to an Agile development method(XP, RUP, Lean, Kanban, Scrum, etc…), often successfully. Testers are expected to begin applying their testing knowledge and skills in an Agile environment. In the process, they will encounter typical Agile practices such as iterative development, time-boxing, stand-up meetings, continuous integration, Test Driven Development and early validation.
But what does this mean for the testing approach? To what extent are their practices and knowledge still applicable? In practice, this knowledge actually proves to be a very good foundation. But how do you apply these testing methods and techniques in an Agile environment? That translation requires a clear understanding of the background and goals of Agile development. What demands does an Agile environment place on the testing approach, on the tester’s knowledge and especially on his or her skills?
This course aims to give participants a theoretical and practical understanding of the role of Tester in an Agile project. Therefore, the course consists of providing theory and training practical skills.
Upon completion of this course, you will have :
- In-depth knowledge of the principles of Agile approach to software development.
- Know the difference between the roles of Testers in Agile and non-agile projects.
- Can you make a positive contribution as an Agile team member focused on testing.
