We provide virtual course about ISTQB Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst in english. This course is designed to prepare experienced testing professionals for the ISTQB® Advanced Technical Test Analyst certification.
Course description:
It focuses on specialised technical test design and execution techniques that are essential for complex software systems. You will learn to analyse architecture, structure test preparations and control test environments to ensure that quality risks are identified and mitigated early and effectively.
The training provides both the theory and practical application of advanced technical test techniques, including structural test design, non-functional testing and test tools. You work with examples and case studies that mirror real industry settings. The course follows the ISTQB® Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst syllabus, combining hands-on exercises with deep dives into performance, security and structural test challenges.
Course objectives:
After completing this course you will be able to:
• Apply advanced structural test techniques to verify internal quality attributes
• Design and execute non-functional testing for performance, reliability and security
• Utilise test tools to support technical test activities
• Assess software architecture with a test perspective
• Analyse complex systems to improve defect detection and prevention
Course content:
Module 1 - Structural testing and code coverage:
• You explore techniques for structural test design, focusing on measuring code coverage and deriving test cases from code and architecture. This includes approaches to ensure internal software structures are exercised effectively.
Module 2 - Non-functional testing overview:
• The course covers performance, reliability, scalability and security testing, explaining how to set up and interpret these tests, and how to incorporate non-functional criteria into your test process.
Module 3 - Test environments and automation:
• You will learn practical approaches to configuring test environments, using tools to automate test execution, and integrating them into continuous delivery pipelines.
Module 4 - Technical test tools:
• This section gives you hands-on insight into tools used to support technical testing, including profiling, debugging, monitoring and reporting tools commonly used in complex system testing.
Module 5 - Performance and load testing:
• You gain understanding of how to design and execute performance and load tests to uncover bottlenecks and ensure systems meet performance expectations.
Module 6 - Security test techniques:
• The course introduces security testing methods, covering common vulnerabilities and how to test system resilience against attack vectors.
