ISTQB Advanced Agile Test Leadership at Scale

The ISTQB Agile Test Leadership at Scale certification focuses on how to organize and improve quality and testing across multiple teams in an agile organization. It also covers how to approach quality and testing at a strategic level in order to achieve higher business agility in an organization. CT-ATLaS covers how to scale testing and quality assurance efforts by fostering a quality mindset and culture across the organization. This includes shifting from a traditional test management approach typically used in sequential development models to a quality assistance approach which builds on Lean and Agile principles and values. It also includes how to adopt common Lean and Agile techniques and processes for analyzing and solving problems and how to use them to improve testing and quality in the organization.

Learning objectives

An Agile Test Leadership at Scale certificate holder can:

  • Foster a value-driven quality mindset and culture
  • Co-create and implement an organizational test strategy that develops quality and testing capabilities
  • Continuously improve test processes at an organizational level addressing test challenges in the context of Agile at scale product development
