Testable Requirements - How to Write Good Acceptance Criteria? Training Course

This foundational course is designed to meet the needs of professionals engaged in Requirements Engineering and Agile methodologies. It targets individuals in roles such as project and IT management, domain experts, system analysts, software developers, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and members of Agile organizations.

RE@Agile integrates IREB’s perspective on Agile values with the Agile viewpoint on Requirements Engineering values. The curriculum covers the classification and evaluation of Requirements Engineering work products and techniques within an Agile context, as well as Agile work products and techniques in the context of Requirements Engineering. It also addresses essential process elements in Agile product development and highlights the motivation for adopting Agile practices in the development process.

A key focus is the synergy between Requirements Engineering and Agile, specifically examining Agile principles relevant to Requirements Engineering and the Agile mindset in relation to core Requirements Engineering values.

The Examination

This course serves as the basis for the RE@Agile Primer examination. Candidates can choose from two examination formats:

• A proctored multiple-choice examination leading to an official RE@Agile Primer certificate. This format is similar to the CPRE Foundation Level and Advanced Level multiple-choice examinations but has a duration of 40 minutes.
• An online multiple-choice self-assessment that provides a confirmation of participation.

This Advanced Level Module, RE@Agile, is designed for Requirements Engineers and agile practitioners. It concentrates on understanding and implementing practices and techniques from the Requirements Engineering discipline within agile development processes. Additionally, it covers grasping and applying concepts, techniques, and key process elements of agile approaches in Requirements Engineering processes.

The Examination

This course is designed to prepare participants for the Advanced Level certification exams in the following areas:

• RE@Agile - Practitioner (the certificate involves a multiple-choice exam)
• RE@Agile - Specialist (the certificate involves a written assignment)

This three-day program is offered as a live, instructor-led session, available either remotely or in a classroom setting.

The course equips participants with methods and best practices for Requirements Engineering, enabling organizations across any business domain to adopt these techniques, with a specific emphasis on eliciting (or extracting) requirements and consolidating them through negotiation and integration.

Additionally, the course content serves as preparation for the Advanced level of certification.

Introduction and Overview of Requirements Engineering

Model-Based Development (MBD) is a software engineering methodology that facilitates faster and more cost-efficient development of dynamic systems, including control systems, signal processing applications, and communication networks. This approach prioritizes graphical modeling over traditional text-based programming.

Through this instructor-led live training, participants will learn to apply MBD methodologies to reduce development costs and accelerate the time to market for embedded software products.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Select and implement appropriate tools for MBD implementation.
• Utilize MBD to facilitate rapid development during the early phases of embedded software projects.
• Shorten the release cycle of embedded software to the market.
