The world of software quality assurance certifications is a complicated one in which several authorities offer multiple certifications in the field. The International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB), offers the Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) certification and the Certified Tester Advanced Level (CTAL) certifications, which combined feature the highest number of certified professionals worldwide among testing certifications. The Foundation Level exam establishes core competency, and the Advanced Level exam is broken into several sub-concentrations to cover different subject matter areas including test analysts, technical test analysts, and test managers.
Advanced Software Testing, Vol. 1 is a guide to the ISTQB Advanced Certification for Advanced Test Analysts. In the ISTQB model, the Test Analyst is responsible for designing, writing and executing individual tests; a technical test analyst is primarily responsible for automation, and the test manager is responsible for things like test planning and resource scheduling. In an attempt to provide relevant material for the targeted niche, the material is geared toward those designing tests and surrounding information from other related disciplines when software testing is omitted.
