ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Level – Technical Test Analyst (CTAL-TTA)

• Explain where non-functional tests and architecture-based tests fit into an application’s lifecycle
• Explain what criteria may influence the structure and level of test condition development
• Describe how we can use test analysis and design activities to discover defects prior to test execution
• Explain the concept of test oracles and how a test oracle is used, with realistic examples of test specifications
• Describe and define the entry conditions for test execution, including testware, test environment, configuration management, and defect management
• Outline a risk-based approach for planning and executing technical testing
• Write test cases using the following black box test design techniques
  • Equivalence partitioning
  • Boundary value analysis
  • Decision tables
  • State transition testing
• Write test cases using the following white box test design techniques:
  • Statement testing
  • Decision testing
  • Condition determination testing
  • Multiple condition testing
• List examples of typical defects to be identified by each specific technique
• Analyze a system or its requirement specification, determine which black box and white box techniques to apply for specific objectives, and outline a test specification based on IEEE 829
• Based on ISO 9126, characterize testing approaches, specify test cases, and distinguish between the types of defects that can be found by security, reliability, and efficiency tests.
• Understand why test strategies should include maintainability, portability, and accessibility tests, and specify test cases to cover these attributes.
• Create a checklist that can find typical defects during code and architecture review
• Compare review types with each other and show their relative strengths, weaknesses, and fields of use
• Analyze, classify and describe functional and non-functional defects in understandable defect reports
