ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level - Test Automation Engineer (CTAL-TAE) is an advanced qualification for professionals involved in software testing and test automation.

The course explores the purpose, limitations, architecture, and lifecycle integration of test automation in detail. Participants learn how to design sustainable automation solutions, assess appropriate tools and strategies, configure supporting infrastructure, and integrate automated testing into CI/CD workflows.

The programme also covers modular and scalable test automation architecture, maintainable automation code, reporting and metrics, solution verification, and continuous improvement.

The syllabus is particularly relevant to professionals who are implementing or improving test automation solutions. It does not teach software engineering itself, so participants are expected to bring practical experience in programming, software development lifecycles, documentation standards, and software engineering practices.
