Review: Test managers, test analysts and technical test analysts, as well as development teams, have to ensure that the developed software fulfils the expectations of the different stakeholders and end users. To validate the level of knowledge associated with these software tester profiles, the ISTQB proposed a tester certification scheme with two main levels: foundation and advanced, with a syllabus for each. The author was responsible for the working party that published the ISTQB advanced-level syllabus. This book aims to provide training support and reference for future advanced-level certified testers. The explanations, examples and exercises are designed to give an understanding of the intricacies of testing and help the reader attain the required proficiency for the ISTQB advanced-level tester certification. Chapters include: Basic aspects of software testing; testing processes; Test management; Test techniques; Testing of software characteristics; reviews (static testing); Incident management; standards and Test process; Testing tools and automation; and People skills.
