ISTQB国际软件测试工程师认证

　　0.1 Purpose of this Document

　　This syllabus forms the basis for the International Software Testing Qualification at the Expert Level for

　　Test Automation - Engineering. The ISTQB provides this syllabus as follows:

　　 To Member Boards, to translate into their local language and to accredit training providers.

　　National boards may adapt the syllabus to their particular language needs and modify the

　　references to adapt to their local publications.

　　 To Exam Boards, to derive examination questions in their local language adapted to the learning

　　objectives for each module.

　　 To training providers, to produce courseware and determine appropriate teaching methods.

　　 To certification candidates, to prepare for the exam (as part of a training course or

　　independently).

　　 To the international software and system engineering community, to advance the profession of

　　software and system testing, and as a basis for books and articles.

　　The ISTQB may allow other entities to use this syllabus for other purposes, provided they seek and obtain

　　prior written permission.

　　0.2 Scope of this Document 0.2.1 In Scope

　　This document describes the tasks of a test automation engineer (TAE) in designing, developing and

　　maintaining concrete test automation solutions. It focuses on the concepts, methods, tools, and

　　processes for automating dynamic functional tests and the relationship of those tests to test

　　management, configuration management, defect management, software development processes and

　　quality assurance. 0.2.2 Out of Scope

　　The following aspects are out of scope for this Test Automation – Engineering syllabus:

　　 Test management, automated creation of test specifications and automated test generation. A

　　separate Expert Level syllabus, Test Automation – Management [ISTQB-EL-TAM], describes the

　　tasks of a test automation manager (TAM) in planning, supervising and adjusting the

　　development and evolution of test automation solutions.

　　 Automation of non-functional tests (e.g., performance, security)

　　 Automation of static analysis (e.g., vulnerability analysis) and static test tools

　　 Teaching of software engineering methods and programming (e.g., which standards to use and

　　which skills to have for realizing a test automation solution)

　　 Teaching of software technologies (e.g., which scripting techniques to use for implementing a test

　　automation solution)

　　 Selection of software testing products and services (e.g., which products and services to use for a

　　test automation solution).
