ISTQB^® Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Automation Engineer

Improve your ability to design, develop and maintain test automation solutions. Learn concepts, methods, tools and processes to implement and deploy a test automation architecture. Ensure continuous control and maintenance of your test automation framework. 

The course enables you to implement efficient and sustainable test automation by providing a structured framework that addresses all aspects of your automation solutions. The layer model of the Generic Test Automation Architecture (gTAA) enables you to align test automation with your business and project goals. This gives you efficient, modular and maintainable automation that fits and evolves with your business needs.

You will learn the success factors and limitations to converting your manual tests into automated tests, and how to set up your test automation solution (TAS) and test automation framework (TAF) for the specific test activities in your test project. You will find the right tools for your test environment, support the transition from manual to automated modular and scalable test solutions, monitor your automation success with reports and metrics, and improve your automation to ensure the sustainability of your automation efforts.
