Effective software testing is integral to mitigating harm caused by software failures and providing confidence in software systems. In traditional projects, product testing is implemented prior to a single release phase. However in the agile software testing life cycle, testing will be implemented on software produced during each iteration. Additionally, agile approaches and artifacts such as user stories incorporate test-driven approaches from the outset of the project. In this learning path, you'll review the principles underpinning agile development and some of the principle agile methodologies. You'll learn about testing in the agile contextand the skillset that an agile tester should have. The path will also cover specific techniques for agile testing and the tools available to agile testers. This path is intended to align with the Agile Tester Certified Tester Foundations Level Extension Syllabus. The authors, Rex Black, Anders Claesson, Gerry Coleman, Bertrand Cornanguer, Istvan Forgacs, Alon Linetzki, Tilo Linz, Leo van der Aalst, Marie Walsh, and Stephan Weber, and the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB®) are the source and copyright owners of the Syllabus. The path is intended to help learners prepare for the Agile Tester Foundation Extension certification(CTFL-AT) exam,which is provided by the Information Systems Examination Board (ISEB), a globally-recognized testing body providing software testing certification.
