ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Level - Technical Test Analyst (3 days)

You already have gathered a considerable amount of experience as a software tester and would like to deepen your technical skills? Then you can use this ISTQB advanced seminar to deepen your abilities in code analysis (for example with path tests), as well as knowledge in debugging and also in software development in general. An ISTQB Technical Test Analyst applies non-functional test procedures and white box testing procedures. This means that he not only checks whether a function works as such, but also analyzes where possible defects could originate. This distinguishes him from the test analyst, who mainly performs black box testing.
