Overview/Description
Agile approaches include the complementary techniques of test-driven development or TDD, acceptance test-driven development, and behavior-driven development. There are many agile techniques and artifacts, such as user stories, that are available to the agile tester. In this course, you'll learn about agile testing techniques and how techniques such as black box testing can be applied in agile projects. The course also covers management, tracking, communication, and configuration tools that are available to agile testers. This course is one of a series intended to align with the Agile Tester Certified Tester Foundations Level Extension Syllabus. The authors, Rex Black, Anders Claesson, Gerry Coleman, Bertrand Cornanguer, Istvan Forgacs, Alon Linetzki, Tilo Linz, Leo van der Aalst, Marie Walsh, and Stephan Weber, and the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB®) are the source and copyright owners of the syllabus. The course is intended to help learners prepare for the Agile Tester Foundation Extension certification (CTFL-AT) exam, which is provided by the Information Systems Examination Board or ISEB, a globally-recognized testing body providing software testing certification.
