Certified Agile Testing and Automation

Organizations are increasingly turning to Agile to produce higher quality products and see return on investment more quickly. In this new environment, testers have a crucial role on the Agile team from day one of the project but often lack the knowledge they need to be successful. With NextUp’s three-day CATA course, you will understand how business, development, and testing interact in an Agile environment, as well as key test engineering techniques.

Certification

Students will receive two certifications from the International Consortium for Agile (ICAgile): Agile Testing Certified Professional (ICP- TST) and Agile Test Automation Certified Professional (ICP-ATA). These two certifications are part of the ICAgile Agile Testing track and provide professional recognition of thorough knowledge in testing and test automation techniques and practices.

Who Should Attend

Our CATA training is ideal for professionals in a software development environment. This includes testers, developers, analysts, engineers, and Agile practitioners interested in testing best practices. No coding experience is necessary to benefit from CATA training, though some knowledge or experience with Agile principles is helpful.
