Step Up In Your Career As a Test Analyst

Prove to others you're ready for promotion. The new ISTQB Advanced Level Test Analyst 4.0 certification shows you're ready for the next step. 

The test analyst role is right for you if you want to:

  • Focus on the customer’s business needs rather than the technical details of testing

  • Perform primarily functional testing

  • Contribute to user-focused, non-functional testing, such as:

    • Usability testing

    • Adaptability testing

    • Installability testing

    • Interoperability testing

  • Use black-box and experience-based test techniques rather than white-box techniques

  • Enhance testing effectiveness through defect prevention methods
