An Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst can:

• recognize and classify the typical risks associated with the performance, security, reliability, portability and maintainability of software systems;
• provide technical elements to the planning, design and execution of tests for mitigating performance, security, reliability, portability and maintainability risks;
• select and apply appropriate white-box test techniques to ensure that tests provide an adequate level of confidence, based on design coverage;
• effectively participate in reviews with developers and software architects applying knowledge of typical defects in the code and architecture;
• improve the quality characteristics of code and architecture by making use of different analysis techniques;
• outline the costs and benefits to be expected from introducing particular types of test automation.
• select appropriate tools to automate technical testing tasks;
• understand the technical issues and concepts in applying test automation.
