Certified Tester Foundation Level Agile Tester (CTFL-AT)

Overview

The ISTQB® Foundation Level Agile Tester (CTFL-AT) certification provides the key testing skills necessary to successfully contribute to an Agile project. CTFL-AT covers agile testing in alignment with the principles of agile software development as outlined in the Agile Manifesto. A tester on an Agile project will work differently than one working on a traditional project. Testers must understand the values and principles that underpin Agile projects, and how testers are an integral part of a whole-team approach together with developers and business representatives.

Audience

The Foundation Level Agile Tester certification is designed for professionals who are working within Agile environments. It is also for professionals who are planning to start implementing Agile methods in the near future, or are working within organizations that plan to do so.

To gain this certification, a candidate must hold the Certified Tester Foundation Level certificate (Version 4 or earlier). However, since Agile testing specificities are addressed in CTFL Syllabus version 4, it does not appear to be useful for a candidate to take the AT exam if he/she is CTFL 4 certified.
