• Reduce the number of test cases you need to design, create, and execute while finding more defects and increasing test coverage
  
• Focus on the “edges” of your system where many of the defects hide
  
• Create efficient and effective test cases that cover multiple inputs
  
• Document complex business rules, ensure their integrity, and test them thoroughly
  
• Document and thoroughly test critical events and time sequences
  
• Create tests from use cases, a popular method for writing requirements
  
• Explore and test the software simultaneously by tapping into your knowledge and experience

The ISTQB Certification Test Analyst training course expands on the test techniques and methods introduced in the ISTQB Foundation certification course and addresses those areas of the ISTQB advanced syllabus specifically related to the Advanced Test Analyst certification. This three day course covers two main areas—techniques for performing effective and efficient functional testing, and approaches to testing the nonfunctional characteristics and attributes of software systems. Specific techniques addressed include equivalence class partitioning, boundary value analysis, classification trees, decision tables, cause-effects diagrams, state diagrams and tables, pair-wise techniques, use cases, experience based, and defect-based testing techniques. The non-functional software characteristics addressed include functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability, and portability. This course is filled with hands-on exercises to help you practice the methods and techniques taught in the course.Taken in conjunction with the two-day Core Topics for Advanced ISTQB Certification course, you will have covered the syllabus for the Advanced Test Analyst certification and be ready to take the certification exam.
