ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Level – Test Automation Engineer

Achieve more quality with effective test automation

This ISTQB® advanced seminar is all about the tasks of a test automation engineer (TAE) – from the conception, development and implementation to the maintenance of test automation solutions.

You will learn the concepts, methods, tools and processes for automating dynamic functional tests and their relationship to test management, configuration management, defect management, software development processes and quality assurance.

We will show you how you can apply the methods described across different software lifecycle approaches (e.g. agile, sequential, incremental, iterative) and types of software systems (e.g. embedded, distributed, mobile) as well as test types (functional and non-functional tests).

Course content

The course teaches the curriculum content of the ISTQB® in 3 days. After the training, you will be able to competently integrate test automation into test processes and select suitable tools for the respective tasks. We ensure that you can develop a test automation strategy (TAS), set up a test automation architecture (TAA) and review and optimize your test automation frameworks (TAF).

You will learn how to convert manual tests into automated tests and how to generate and evaluate automated reports and metrics. The course is accompanied by repetitions of testing terminology and testing fundamentals.

Course Details

In the seminar we teach the content of the official ISTQB® curriculum. Our trainers also present you with as many practical examples as possible so that you can easily apply what you have learned later.

ISTQB CATL-TAE curriculum

In order to receive the certification “ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Level – Test Automation Engineer”, you must not only successfully pass the final examination but also provide proof of the basic certificate „ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level“

ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level Certification Training

Your participation in the exam is optional. We assume that you would also like to take the ISTQB® CTAL – Test Automation Engineer exam after the training. Please let us know when booking the course if you do not want to do this.
The exam in English lasts 90 minutes and takes place in a Pearson Vue test center of your choice. Non-native speakers can apply for a 25% time extension, the exam then lasts 113 minutes. We will organize your participation for you. The independent certification body charges a fee of 225.00 euros plus VAT for conducting the exam, which we will invoice you with the training fees.
Our trainers will prepare you optimally for the “ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Level – Test Automation Engineer” exam. Our general ISTQB exam rates have been above average for years, so we are also aiming to achieve these great results for the new test automation scheme. With the certification, you become a member of the global community of over 673,000 certified testers in over 100 countries. With the certificate, you have independent proof of your testing expertise, which is expected by most contractors and employers in professional practice.

The price includes all meals, resources and complete course documentation.
The price does not include the exam fee, as although we organize the exam, the price varies depending on the exam organization. We will therefore pass these costs on directly.

We would also be happy to conduct this training for you as an in-house training course.
