Overview

Agile Tester Training Course Overview

The Agile Tester Training course will teach delegates the skills and knowledge needed to work effectively with an Agile project team. Crucially, delegates will be able to differentiate between the testing role in agile projects, compared with the role of testers in non-agile projects. As such, delegates will gain an appreciation for Agile techniques and how it can improve business project performance.

This course begins by providing an insight into Daily Scrum. Scrum is an agile framework that enhances software delivery, through encouraging short, high-effort, collaborative, team “sprints” in an effort to improve productivity.

After allowing candidates to gauge an understanding of scrum, training moves on to Agile Principles and more specifically, agile testing. By earning this Agile Testing certification, delegates will be able to gain an understanding of how to function well as part of an Agile project team, meaning that the project will flow better, putting you one step ahead in your career.
