Attending the iSAQB® CPSA-A Architecture Evaluation (ARCEVAL) course gives participants 20 Methodological Competence (MC) points towards the 70 points required for eligibility for the iSAQB CPSA-A exam with Brightest. It is important to remember that as part of the 70 points required to take the iSAQB CPSA-A exam with Brightest, you will need at least ten competence points in each of the following areas:
- Technical Competence (TC)
- Methodological Competence (MC)
- Communicative Competence (CC)
Accredited iSAQB® ARCEVAL - Architecture Evaluation (CPSA-A) training is based on the current iSAQB® curriculum:
Part 1 - Basic concepts of software architecture evaluation
- Designate characteristics of architectural work
- Proceeds and purposes for architectural evaluation
- Requirements for architecture assessment
- Architecture evaluation methods
Part 2 - Claims in the architectural evaluation
- Investigate and circumvent qualitative claims
- Applying the typical tactics to achieve an architecture evaluation
- Explanation of the connection between quality characteristics
- Use case scenarios, limit scenarios, and stress scenarios
Part 3 - Appraisal procedure
- ATAM (Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method)
- Explain the phases of ATAM
- Detailed scenarios
- Conceptually documented decisions
- Source code parts
- Implementation of qualitative evaluation of software architectures according to ATAM
- Assessment and action
Part 4 - Rework and follow-up evaluation
- Risks
- Sensitive points
- General ToDos
- Use of the means of communication to convey results
- Exploitation and follow-up sequence of evaluation workshops
Part 5 - Evaluation of the existing system
- Scenario-based assessment
- Explanation of the differences from the assessment in the architecture development process
- Explanation of the differences from the implementation review with metrics and measurements
Part 6 - Examples for evaluating software architectures
- Presentation of at least one example of a software architecture
Doelgroep publiek
The CPSA-A Architecture Evaluation seminar is particularly valuable for professionals who want to explore contemporary ways to review a software solution's architecture and how to improve architecture evaluations by condensing findings, setting impulses, and utilizing lean designs in agile environments.
Vereiste
To join any iSAQB® CPSA - Advanced Level course, you must hold the iSAQB® Certified Professional for Software Architecture - Foundation Level (CSPA-F) certificate.
Knowledge prerequisites:
Participants should have the following prerequisite knowledge:
- Fundamentals of documenting software architectures using different views, cross-cutting concepts, design decisions, constraints, etc., as taught in CPSA Foundation Level
- Experience in the development and maintenance of software, especially the architecture of software or software-related systems
Knowledge in the following areas may help understand some concepts covered in this course:
- Knowledge of typical challenges in the design of software architectures:
- Selection of appropriate documentation structures, notations, and result types (stakeholder orientation)
- Joint work on fundamental concepts of the software to be created
- Alignment of software architecture with requirements and constraints
- Measuring and evaluating the quality of designs and decisions
