Certified Software Automation Tester (CSAT) - Foundation Level

Certification Overview

Certified Software Automation Tester (CSAT) - Foundation Level

Exam Code: CSATFL-001

The objective of automated testing is to simplify as much of the testing effort as possible with a minimum set of scripts. If unit testing consumes a large percentage of a quality assurance (QA) team's resources, for example, then this process might be a good candidate for automation. 

Automated testing tools are capable of executing tests, reporting outcomes and comparing results with earlier test runs. Tests carried out with these tools can be run repeatedly, instantly at any time of day. 

The certification also aims to Expand test automation beyond functional testing to include many other areas such as performance testing, load testing, test management, test automation support, and code level test automation.
