Description
Overview
We are well aware that agile team members shy away from standardised training and exams as they seem to be opposing the agile philosophy. However, agile projects are no free agents; they need structure and discipline as well as a common language and methods.

Overview
We are well aware that agile team members shy away from
standardised training and exams as they seem to be opposing the
agile philosophy. However, agile projects are no free agents; they
need structure and discipline as well as a common language and
methods. Since the individuals in a team are the key element of
agile projects, they heavily rely on a consensus on their daily
work methods to be successful. All the above was considered during
the long and careful process of developing a certification
framework that is agile and not static. The exam to certify the
tester also had to capture the essential skills for agile
cooperation. Clearly no simple multiple choice test would be able
to show the examinee’s soft skills. Hence a whole new approach was
developed together with the experienced input of a number of
renowned industry partners: To become a Certified Agile Tester you
have to succeed in three different ways:
1. A soft skills assessment on capacity for teamwork
2. An exam, which requires free answering - no multiple choice
questions
3. A practical section where the examinee’s testing skills are put
to the test.
