Training Designed Around you
Build Advanced Technical Software Testing Skills
Modern software systems demand more than functional testing alone.
Technical Test Analysts need to understand what is happening beneath the surface — from code structure and system architecture to performance, security, reliability and maintainability.
The ISTQB Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst (CTAL-TTA) course develops the advanced technical testing knowledge needed to identify product risks, select appropriate technical test techniques and evaluate the non-functional quality of software systems.
The syllabus specifically positions the Technical Test Analyst around understanding “how” a product works, rather than only the functional question of what it does.

What Does the ISTQB Technical Test Analyst Course Cover?
The CTAL-TTA v4.0 syllabus is divided into six core areas.
Risk-Based Testing
Understand how Technical Test Analysts identify, assess and help mitigate technical product risks, and how risk influences testing priorities and approaches.
White-Box Test Techniques
Develop advanced skills in statement testing, decision testing, MC/DC, multiple condition testing and API testing, and learn how to select suitable white-box techniques for different levels of risk.
Static & Dynamic Analysis
Use control flow, data flow and dynamic analysis to identify defects, assess code complexity, improve maintainability and detect runtime issues such as memory leaks and performance problems.
Quality Characteristics for Technical Testing
Learn how to plan and apply testing for key non-functional areas including security, reliability, performance, maintainability, portability and compatibility.
Reviews
Strengthen your contribution to architectural and code reviews, using technical knowledge and checklists to identify defects earlier in the development lifecycle.
Test Tools & Automation
Understand how to select and apply test automation approaches and specialist testing tools, including tools for performance, fault injection, web, component, model-based and mobile testing.
