ISTQB Advanced Test Automation Engineer - Online

£1604 per delegate ex vat The ISTQB Advanced Test Automation Engineer Certificate Course is a three-day online course explaining the tasks of a Test Automation Engineer (TAE) in designing, developing, and maintaining test automation solutions.

Our online courses are all run in real time with a live trainer, who hosts video conferencing session for each lesson.

Courses are scheduled and run in the same way as traditional 'classroom' sessions, with exercises and interaction throughout, allowing delegates to ask questions and for the trainer to check understanding through the course.

The course includes exercises and practice exams to highlight key aspects of the syllabus and to help participants understand and practice the concepts and methods presented.

The certification is aimed at professionals who are working within a tool supported software testing environment. It is also for professionals who are planning to start working within a tool supported software testing environment in the future, or are working within companies that plan to do so.

The course provides participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to guide a test automation project. It focuses on the concepts, methods, tools, and processes for automating dynamic functional tests and the relationship of those tests to test management, configuration management, defect management, software development processes and quality assurance.

Methods described are generally applicable across variety of software lifecycle approaches (e.g. Agile, sequential, incremental, iterative), types of software systems (e.g. embedded, distributed, mobile) and test types (functional and non-functional testing).

Those possessing an ISTQB Advanced Test Automation Engineer certificate may use the Certified Tester Advanced Level acronym: CTAL-TAE.
