ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Management Training for the Test Management Role

Home Training Training overview Softwaretesting – ISTQB® ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Management (CTAL-TM)

In the Role of Test Management, You Will Take on the Responsibilities of the Test Project Leader

However, classic project management and the management of a test project differ in key aspects. For this reason, when testing, you should not leave all necessary measures and activities to luck from the outset, but rather plan them in a targeted manner, document them, and continuously monitor progress.

Our ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Management (CTAL-TM) training will enable you to:

  • Manage testing in various software development projects by applying test management processes established for the project team or test organization
  • Identify test stakeholders and software development lifecycle models that are relevant in a given context
  • Organize risk identification and risk assessment sessions within any software development lifecycle and use these results to guide testing to reach the test objectives
  • Define a project test strategy consistent with the organizational test strategy and project context
  • Continuously monitor and control testing to achieve project objectives
  • Assess and report test progress to project stakeholders
  • Identify necessary skills and develop those skills within your team
  • Prepare and present a business case for testing in different contexts that outlines the costs and expected benefits
  • Lead test process improvement activities in projects or software development product streams and contribute to organizational test process improvement initiatives
  • Planning the test activities and estimating the test effort
  • Create defect reports and a defect workflow suitable for a software development lifecycle
