Product Description

The Agile Test Leadership at Scale certification focuses on how to organize and improve quality and testing across multiple teams in an agile organization. Building on the Agile Tester certification which covers how to conduct testing on the level of a single agile team, Agile Test Leadership at Scale covers how to lead testing and improve quality in projects or organizations with multiple agile teams. It also covers how to approach quality and testing at a strategic level in order to achieve higher business agility in an organization.

By taking this certification you will be able to scale testing and quality assurance efforts by fostering a quality mindset and culture across the organization.
