Practical Agile Testing

Agile testing is no longer just about keeping up with fast delivery. It is about shaping quality from the very first idea to production. Practical Agile Testing bridges the gap between Agile theory, modern testing practices, and ISTQB ® Agile Tester certification success. Built around the new ISTQB ® Agile Tester syllabus v2.0, Practical Agile Testing provides a hands-on guide to testing in modern Agile environments. The book explains not only what Agile testers need to know for certification, but also how these concepts work in real projects. Covering advanced Agile practices, collaboration models, risk-based thinking, test automation, continuous delivery, and quality engineering, it helps readers develop both exam readiness and practical professional skills. Clear explanations, realistic examples, and structured learning paths make complex topics accessible to testers working in fast-moving development teams.
