Certified Agile Tester - Foundation (CATF)

Certification Overview

Certified Agile Tester - Foundation (CATF)

Exam Code: CATF-001

The Certified Agile Tester - Foundation (CATF)™ Certification is designed to provide professionals with a fundamental understanding of Agile software development principles, methodologies, and testing practices. It focuses on key concepts such as Agile values and principles, Scrum frameworks, software testing techniques, test planning, collaboration within Agile teams, and continuous feedback. The certification helps individuals understand the role of testing in Agile environments, improve communication between developers and testers, and contribute to delivering high-quality software through iterative development. It is particularly beneficial for aspiring software testers, quality assurance professionals, developers, and IT professionals seeking to build or strengthen their knowledge of Agile testing practices.

Testing is a fundamental part of any successful project. Agile is flexible and adaptive with frequent feedback loops, far different from the traditional regimented methodologies.

The Agile Testing Foundation certification extends the broad understanding of testing acquired at Foundation Level and covers those topics which are considered to be essential knowledge for a test professional working on agile projects.

The Agile Testing Foundation Certification is suitable for those who are, or expect to be, working on agile projects and is also appropriate for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of agile development that specifically contains coverage of the options for including software testing as an integrated part of the agile development approach. This includes Scrum Masters, project managers, release managers, quality managers, software development managers, business analysts and consultants
