ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Management (CTAL-TM) Training

Managing a test project differs in key ways from traditional project management. For this reason, when conducting tests, you should not leave any necessary measures or activities to chance, but rather plan them systematically from the outset, document them, and continuously monitor progress.

The ISTQB® Certified Tester Advanced Level Test Management (CTAL-TM) course will provide you with the necessary knowledge.

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to:

  • Manage testing in various software development projects by applying test management processes established for the project team or test organization
  • Identify test stakeholders and software development lifecycle models that are relevant in a given context
  • Organize risk identification and risk assessment sessions within any software development lifecycle and use the results to guide testing to meet the test objectives
  • Define a project test strategy consistent with the organizational test strategy and project context
  • Continuously monitor and control testing to achieve project goals
  • Assess and report test progress to project stakeholders
  • Identify necessary skills and develop those skills within your team
  • Prepare and present a business case for testing in different contexts that outlines the costs and expected benefits
  • Lead test process improvement activities in projects or software development product streams and contribute to organizational test process improvement initiatives
