ISTQB Advanced Level Test Manager

ISTQB · advanced · 180 minutes, extended for non-native speakers

In developmentThis course is still being brought to our full standard. The questions and notes are usable, but they have not yet been checked line by line against the vendor’s own training.

Managing testing rather than performing it: the process with evidence-based entry and exit criteria, planning and estimation including the costs usually omitted, monitoring that pairs coverage with pass rate, risk-based prioritisation, defect management with severity against priority, reviews, improvement, tool selection and the team.

Two sample questions

Two of the 198, with the answer and the explanation.

1. Why does the test manager base process improvement on evidence rather than opinion?

  1. Opinions cannot be collected reliably
  2. Evidence is required by the process maturity model itself
  3. Measured change is quicker to implement
  4. Evidence shows the real weakness and the effect — correct

Why: Evidence such as defect and process data identifies where the real problems lie and confirms whether a change improved things, which opinion alone cannot establish.

2. What does the design activity produce?

  1. Invoices
  2. Sales leads
  3. Test cases — correct
  4. Office plans

Why: Design produces test cases from the test conditions.
