About This Course
Agile has fundamentally changed how software is built, and it has changed what testers need to know to be effective. Traditional testing approaches simply cannot keep pace with rapid sprint cycles, continuous delivery, and cross functional team structures. Agile testing bridges that gap by embedding quality into every sprint and every collaboration, enabling teams to ship reliable software faster. The ISTQB Agile Tester certification proves you understand how to work that way, and this course gets you there.
This course is your complete guide to the ISTQB CTFL AT syllabus. Whether you are a software tester, QA engineer, developer, business analyst, or project manager, the content is designed to give you the skills and confidence to contribute meaningfully to Agile teams and pass the ISTQB Agile Tester exam. Every topic is taught with engaging lessons, real world examples from actual Agile projects, and expert exam strategies built for the ISTQB format.
You will cover Agile fundamentals including the Agile Manifesto, Scrum, and Kanban. You will understand the tester role within cross functional Agile teams, how unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing fit into Agile workflows, and how they differ from traditional approaches. You will also master key practices including test driven development, acceptance test driven development, and behavior driven development, and understand how continuous integration and test automation support Agile quality.
Please note that as per the official ISTQB portal, exams and training for CTFL AT are available until May 2027 for English and November 2027 for non English. Agile testing content is also available in the ISTQB CTFL v4.0 and the advanced CTAL AT certification. By the end of this course you will be certified, confident, and equipped to add real value to any Agile team you join.
What You'll Learn
Test Case Creation and Organization in Jira
Learn how to create, edit, and organize test cases directly in Jira Cloud using the Zephyr Test Management add on. Understand how to structure your test repository for reuse and scalability so your test suite grows with your product rather than becoming a maintenance burden.
Test Cycles, Execution and Progress Tracking
Gain hands on experience setting up test cycles, rerunning test suites, and tracking execution progress using Zephyr workflows. Learn how to align test cycles with your Agile sprints and releases and keep stakeholders informed on testing status in real time.
Data Driven Testing with Parameterized Inputs
Explore data driven testing by parameterizing test inputs in Zephyr, enabling efficient reuse across multiple scenarios without duplicating test cases. Learn how this approach reduces maintenance overhead and increases the coverage you can achieve with the same number of test cases.
Requirements Traceability and Coverage
Master linking tests to epics, stories, and requirements in Jira and use traceability matrices to ensure full coverage across development and QA. Understand how traceability gives you and your stakeholders confidence that every requirement has been tested before release.
Advanced Reporting and Analytics Dashboards
Build advanced reporting dashboards using execution burndown charts, defect density metrics, and real time analytics to give management the visibility they need. Learn how to turn Zephyr data into clear, actionable reports that communicate test progress and quality status to any audience.
Zephyr No Code Automation
Learn how to write and run automated tests in Zephyr without any coding using the Zephyr no code automation feature. Understand how to connect automation results back to your Zephyr test cases so every execution, whether manual or automated, feeds into your reporting and traceability in one unified view.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior Zephyr experience to take this course?
No prior Zephyr experience is required. The course starts from scratch and walks you through every major feature of the Zephyr Test Management add on for Jira Cloud. A basic understanding of software testing and Jira will help you get the most out of the course, but even if you are new to Jira you will be able to follow along.
What is Zephyr and how does it work with Jira?
Zephyr is one of the most widely used test management add ons for Jira Cloud, used by QA teams worldwide to manage test cases, plan and execute test cycles, track defects, and generate quality reports without leaving Jira. It gives software teams a native test management layer inside the project management tool they already use every day, keeping QA and development work aligned in a single platform.
Does this course cover the full Zephyr feature set?
Yes. This course covers all the core features of Zephyr for Jira Cloud including test case creation and management, test cycles and execution, data driven testing with parameterized inputs, requirements traceability matrices, defect linking, advanced reporting dashboards, and Zephyr no code automation. You will have practical hands on experience with every major feature by the end of the course.
My team uses Jira already. Will Zephyr slot in easily?
Yes, that is exactly what makes Zephyr such a popular choice for Agile teams. Because it is built as a Jira add on rather than a separate tool, your test cases, test cycles, defects, and reports all live inside the Jira environment your team already works in. This course shows you how to install, configure, and integrate Zephyr so it fits naturally into your existing Jira workflows from day one.
How long does this course take to complete?
The course has 4 hours of video content covering the full Zephyr feature set from setup through to advanced reporting and automation. Most students complete it in a single focused day or across a couple of evenings. All content is self paced with lifetime access so you can revisit any section whenever you need a refresher or encounter a new Zephyr feature on a real project.
Who is this course best suited for?
This course is designed for QA engineers, test leads, test managers, quality engineers, business analysts, Scrum Masters, and product owners who want to bring structured test management into their Jira environment. Whether you are setting up Zephyr for the first time or looking to use it more effectively across your Agile team, this course gives you the hands on skills to do it well.
Who This Course Is For
Software Testers and QA Engineers
If you are a tester or QA engineer who wants to replace spreadsheets and ad hoc test tracking with a structured, Jira integrated test management solution, this course shows you exactly how Zephyr works in practice and gives you the hands on confidence to use it on real projects from day one.
