Advanced Test Manager 5

Advanced Test Analyst 4

Advanced Technical Test 3

Analyst


Advanced Test Manager Major Changes

The principal Test Manager subjects covered remain the same. However, the content has been improved

Redundancies with Foundation Level have been removed (e.g. reviews)

The Expert Level syllabi “Test Management“ and “Improving the Test Process“ are now available. Scoping and alignment with these syllabi has taken place

The defect management chapter is no longer based on IEEE-1044 and focuses more on setting up a defect management lifecycle and using defect data for process improvement.


Advanced Test Analyst Major Changes

The major concentration of this syllabus remains on the testing techniques and test process

Domain analysis and user stories are new to the specification-based techniques section

Content has been significantly revised to align the scope with Foundation, other Advanced Level syllabi and Expert Level Test Automation

The Test Management and Tools chapters are relatively short and cover only the specific issues relating to the Test Analyst

The defect management chapter is no longer based on IEEE-1044 and focuses more on defect categorization and performing initial root cause analysis of defects


Advanced Technical Test Analyst Major Changes

A significant refocus on the technical aspects of testing has been completed. As a result it is now expected that candidates must be able to read and understand pseudo-code

The basic aspects of testing and the testing process are now covered in other syllabi

The test management chapter is relatively short and covers only the specific issues relating to the Technical Test Analyst.
