Course Description
"I passed thanks to this course! I really recommend it, it contains everything from the syllabus, Maged enriches the content with some very valuable concepts, team velocity, burn down and burn up charts, etc. Just go through the course one time taking the course quizzes, then take a couple of sample exams, know what you need to reinforce, go through the course again to reinforce any concepts you missed on the first run. Pass the test. *I used the 1.5 speed on the video on my second run and was able to understand it perfectly. Thanks!!"---Mario Martinez
"The material is very good; the delivery is overall adequate The instructor is somewhat difficult to understand, although you can understand him if you concentrate. The video of him talking...VERY distracting. But basically, I am learning a lot and feel comfortable that at the end of the course, I will be well prepared for the ISTQB® Agile Tester exam."---Cassandra Myer
Agile testing is an evolving approach to software testing that follows the principles of agile software development as defined in the Agile Manifesto.
A tester on an agile project will need some new skills compared to a tester working on a traditional project. Testers must understand the values and principles that are backing up agile projects in different environments. Testers should be involved in every activity of the agile team, not just in plain testing activities.
Testers are an integral part of an agile team together with developers and business representatives. Testers on agile teams use their expertise in creating testable examples of desired behavior from business representatives and collaborating with the developers to turn those into specifications that guide all development activities.
There are a lot of things to learn about testing and quality in agile projects. The ISTQB® Agile Tester Extension will give the testers, test managers, and others that are interested in the knowledge to be part of agile teams and achieve high performance at your work.
The ISTQB® Agile Tester Extension course helps participants to obtain the ISTQB® Foundation Extension Agile Tester certificate. The course is very useful for all testers, test coordinators, test managers, user acceptance testers, or software developers who work or are planning to start working with Agile or any other iterative projects.
The course is highly practical in addressing the following areas:
The fundamentals of Agile Software Development and the various Agile approaches that are recognized and how these embrace the 4 values and 12 principles of the Agile Manifesto.
How Agile projects differ from traditional projects and what methods are implemented to demonstrate the status of testing throughout the project.
Understanding the role of the tester on an Agile project and how to contribute to; estimating user stories, assessing quality risks, generating testable acceptance criteria, and interpreting relevant information to support testing activities.
Understand the various tools that support testing in an Agile project and how these differ from a traditional project.

The quizzes are even worst written than the exams which is actually a good point. The negative parts are that the presentations where too short and just scratching on the surface. Spending time with other learning materials like the Syllabus and Quality for DevOps teams from TMAP are more worth of money and time than this course. So far it is the worst course I visited and got me so disappointed that I have to write this review. In the end I still appreciate Quizzes.

Firstly, I booked the exam slot and then started preparing to watch the videos of the course. I spent only 3-4 days of my free time spending in this course videos. No extra preparation, no model exams. Hurray, Today, I received my result and I am glad to say that I passed with flying colours. Thank you Maged for the wonderful course.
By Sajan Machingal on 11/6/2019
This is an excellent course - the most appropriate course to pass the exam - I passed the exam in the last week with 35/40. Thanks to Mr. Kosthy for publishing this course and taking effort to enhance the course with multiple quizzes. I recommend this course to pass the exam.
By Shruti Ramamoorthy on 4/9/2019
I gave my exam yesterday and passed it. This course was very helpful and insightful. Maged does a great job of explaining the concepts. Complete the training twice atleast. Solve as many sample exams, mark the concepts that you werent able to answer and go through the videos again. Also, read the syllabus twice or thrice. All the best to everyone who is aspiring to take this exam :)
By Rishabh Jain on 2/6/2019
I took both the foundation and agile courses provided by Maged. Both the courses are to the point, updated and the questions along with the videos are really helpful. I passed both the exams with 80% thabks to Maged. Highly recommend the course for beginners as well as professional's trying to get certified.

By Lise-Anne Aballo on 1/18/2019
So far, so good - I believe this will sufficiently help me in studying for and passing the exam. After completing this course as well as the Agile Practice Exams also offered y Maged, I passed the exam with flying colors. Thanks Maged for all the helpful course content!
By Mi Mi on 12/14/2018
Anything from Maged is highly recommended. He explains things extensively and with clarity. I find the sample exams here easier though and wouldn't be complacent based on that. So I also recommend taking different mock exams. UPDATE: I passed the exam, on my first take with the help of this course. 85% from this, 15% from mock exams.
By Carol James on 1/18/2018
The course was excellent. I had done the 2 day classroom course but didn't learn all that much and I would've failed the exam. In fact I did the practice exam and only got 27%. After going through this course at my own learning pace I sat the actual exam and passed with 87% or 35 out of 40. Thank you for the course. I'm so glad I did it prior to sitting the exam itself.
