ISTQB Agile Tester Extension Certification

ISTQB Agile Tester Extension Certification

ISTQB introduced a new certification ISTQB Agile Tester Certification Extension. Software development as well as testing in an agile methodology follows a different approach compared to regular software projects in other models. Testers who are part of the agile projects need to have a very good understanding of Fundamentals of Agile software development, Features of Agile development, Testing in traditional and Agile projects, Testing in Agile projects, Roles and skills of a tester in Agile projects, Agile testing techniques and methods, Assess product quality risks within an Agile project, Tools and Techniques in Agile projects. This certification tests the knowledge of candidates in these areas.
