ISTQB Advanced Technical Test Analyst Course

Cassandra, Leticia and Kenny had recently completed the ISTQB Advanced Technical Test Analyst Course in Brisbane. This is a 5-day course (30/08/2010 – 03/09/10) and was presented by Rex Black, past president of the International Standard Testing Qualification Board (ISTQB) in cooperation with Softed Education Company. Rex Black comes from Texas USA and is also the founder of Rex Black Consultant Services(RBCS company).

This is the very first classroom course offered for ISTQB Advanced Technical Test Analyst and the participants came from different parts of Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra) as well as in New Zealand. As this is the pilot classroom course, participants are limited to 8 to ensure that there is much interaction between presenter and participants. It is an in-depth course geared toward exploring new ways to plan, prepare and test across the full Software Development Lifecycle, etc.

Towards the end of the course, there was a book signing from Rex Black. One of the course materials was a Testing Book authored by Rex himself and everyone wanted to have his signature on the book. Also, there was an exchange of business cards among participants to ensure continuous contacts, and to further enhanced the ‘bonding’ that were developed during the 5-day course.

At last, Rex presented the participants with a Certification of Attendance and hopefully everyone is looking forward to sit on the exam to be given towards the end of the year.
