Course details:

General Description

This Advanced Level course builds on the knowledge and skills acquired at the Foundation Level. In this course you will learn to recognize, classify and plan the testing for mitigating typical quality risks associated with performance, security, reliability, portability and maintainability. You will be able to write test cases by applying a selection of structure-based test design techniques and understand when each technique is appropriate. You will also be able to use control and data flow analysis to detect code anomalies, propose ways of improving code maintainability and know when the use of dynamic analysis is appropriate. You will learn how to contribute to the test planning for non-functional requirements, define the approach and design high-level test cases for security, reliability and performance testing, and define the types of defects targeted by these types of testing. You will learn how to analyze an architectural design and a section of code, identifying problems using a checklist. You will understand the technical issues and concepts in applying test automation and be able to create a keyword table for test automation based on a given business process.

ISTQB Advanced Technical Test Analyst Course Objectives

 

• » Summarize the generic risk factors that the Technical Test Analyst typically needs to consider.

• » Summarize the activities of the Technical Test Analyst within a risk-based approach for planning and executing testing.

• » Write test cases from a given specification item by applying the Decision/Condition, Modified Condition/Decision Coverage (MC/DC), and the Multiple Condition testing test design techniques to achieve a defined level of coverage.

• » Write test cases from a given specification item by applying the Path testing test design technique.

• » Select an appropriate structure-based technique according to a given project situation.

• » Use control flow analysis to detect if code has any control flow anomalies.

• » Use data flow analysis to detect if code has any data flow anomalies.

• » Propose ways to improve the maintainability of code by applying static analysis.

• » Specify goals to be achieved by the use of dynamic analysis.

• » For a particular project and system under test, analyze the non-functional requirements and write the respective sections of the test plan.

• » Define the approach and design high-level test cases for security testing.

• » Define the approach and design high-level test cases for the reliability quality characteristic and its corresponding ISO 9126 sub-characteristics.

• » Define the approach and design high-level operational profiles for performance testing.

• » Given a particular product risk, define the particular non-functional test type(s) that are most appropriate.

• » For a given scenario, define the types of defects you would expect to find by using non-functional testing types.

• » Analyze an architectural design and identify problems according to a checklist provided in the syllabus.

• » Analyze a section of code or pseudo-code and identify problems according to a checklist provided in the syllabus.
