Description
Attending the iSAQB® CPSA-A Architecture Documentation (ADOC) course gives participants 20 Methodological Competence (MC) points towards the 70 points required for eligibility to take 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® ADOC - Architecture Documentation (CPSA-A) training is based on the current iSAQB® curriculum:
Part 1 - Basic concepts of software architecture documentation
- Description and convincing representation of the architectural documentation
- Explanation of the importance of architectural documentation for different stakeholders
- Be able to name typical records for architectural documentation
- Be able to designate concrete process models regarding architecture documentation
Part 2 - Documentation and procedure
- Determine the purpose of groups and the purposes of documentation
- Building new systems
- Progress of existing systems with existing documentation
- Documentation of existing systems without existing documentation
- Documentation in exceptional situations (little time, little budget, little available information, sources, etc.)
- Discuss the benefits of fixed divisions and structures for documentation
Part 3 - Components of architectural documentation
- Further development of existing architecture documentation
- Identify and appropriately document factors that influence software architecture (boundary conditions, quality purposes, technical risks)
- Capture architectural decisions in an understandable way
- Generate technical or general concepts appropriate to the target group
- Structure components in documents
Part 4 - Tools
- Choosing the right tools for the respective activities
- Use analogue and digital documentation tools
Part 5 - Rate documentation
- Distinguish between the content of an architectural document and a formal assessment
- Separating the review of a document from the assessment of the architecture
- Select, plan, and execute for appropriate review steps
Part 6 - Examples for the documentation of software architectures
- Explanation of how the systematic documentation was changed
- In the example, your strengths and weaknesses from the model presented
Target Audience
The CPSA-A Architecture Documentation seminar is particularly valuable for professionals who want to grow their knowledge in documentation and communication specific to the software architecture field.
Requirements
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 describing architectures using different views, crosscutting concepts, design decisions, constraints, etc., as taught in CPSA-F Foundation Level
- Experience in the creation and maintenance of technical documentation for software, especially software architecture or software-related systems,
Knowledge in the following areas may help understand some concepts covered in this course:
- Knowledge of typical challenges in creating and maintaining technical documentation:
- Selection of appropriate documentation structures, notations, deliverable types (stakeholder orientation)
- Handling of large documentation (especially existing or obsolete documentation)
- Selection, configuration, and implementation of tool chains (by what means can documentation be adequately created and maintained),
- Versioning of documents (models and texts)
- Documentation in teams, creation, and maintenance based on work distribution
- Content-based and formal reviews of documentation.
