iSAQB® CPSA-A - Architecture Documentation (Course)

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

• 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
