Course Overview

The ISTQB Software Testing Foundations with Agile Practices course by ISTQB is designed to equip professionals with core testing principles and Agile-specific methodologies aligned with the ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) v4.0 syllabus. This certification prepares candidates for the CTFL exam, which validates foundational knowledge applicable across software development lifecycles, including Agile, DevOps, and traditional models. It is ideal for entry-level testers, quality assurance analysts, and software developers transitioning into testing roles. With over 81% of permanent IT jobs in England citing Agile as a co-occurring skill alongside ISTQB Foundation Certification, this training meets growing industry demand for cross-functional team members who can integrate testing into iterative development environments.

While the course does not focus on specific automation tools or platforms like Selenium, JIRA, or Azure DevOps directly, it covers essential test techniques and processes used within Agile projects, including user story validation, acceptance criteria definition, and collaboration-based test approaches. Students engage in hands-on learning through scenario-based exercises that simulate real-world Agile workflows, such as participating in sprint planning, defining testable requirements, and conducting risk-based testing in iterative cycles. The curriculum emphasizes practical application using official ISTQB case studies and sample exams, allowing learners to practice black-box, white-box, and experience-based test design techniques. These activities are delivered through instructor-led sessions using official courseware, reinforcing how testing integrates within Scrum and other Agile frameworks.

This course prepares individuals for the globally recognized ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) certification, which serves as a prerequisite for all advanced ISTQB certifications and is highly valued in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and government. Certified professionals in the UK report a median annual salary of £61,018, reflecting a significant premium over non-certified peers. Koenig Solutions enhances preparation with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, 1-on-1 instructor support, and official ISTQB syllabus-aligned materials, ensuring comprehensive readiness. Upon completion, graduates are positioned to advance into roles such as Agile Testers, QA Leads, or Test Analysts, contributing effectively to high-performing software delivery teams.
