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

This foundational course is designed for individuals involved in Requirements Engineering and Agile methodologies. It caters to a wide range of roles including project or IT managers, domain experts, system analysts, software developers, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and anyone who is part of an Agile organization.

The RE@Agile course draws inspiration from both IREB’s perspective on Agile values and the Agile view of Requirements Engineering principles. It covers the classification and evaluation of Requirements Engineering work products and techniques within the context of Agile practices, as well as Agile work products and techniques in the context of Requirements Engineering. Additionally, it explores essential process elements in Agile product development, highlighting the motivation for integrating Agile into a development process.

A key focus is on the synergy between Requirements Engineering and Agile: understanding how Agile principles apply to Requirements Engineering and how an Agile mindset aligns with core Requirements Engineering values.

The Examination

This course serves as the foundation for the RE@Agile Primer examination. There are two types of examinations available:

• A proctored multiple-choice examination that leads to an official RE@Agile Primer certificate, similar in format to the CPRE Foundation Level and Advanced Level exams, but with a duration of 40 minutes.
• An online multiple-choice self-assessment that provides confirmation of participation.

This Advanced Level Module, RE@Agile, is designed for Requirements Engineers and agile professionals. It emphasizes understanding and applying practices and techniques from the Requirements Engineering field within agile development processes, as well as grasping and implementing concepts, techniques, and essential process elements of agile methodologies in Requirements Engineering.

The Examination

This course is intended to prepare participants for the Advanced Level certification exams of:

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

This 3-day course is offered as a live, instructor-led session, either online (remote) or on-site (classroom).

The course covers methods and best practices in Requirements Engineering that can be implemented in any organization, irrespective of the business domain. It focuses on elicitation (or extraction of requirements) and their consolidation (negotiation and integration).

The content also prepares participants for the Advanced level certification.

Introduction and Overview of Requirements Engineering 

Model-Based Development (MBD) is a software development approach that facilitates faster and more cost-effective creation of dynamic systems, such as control systems, signal processing, and communication systems. This methodology relies on graphical modeling rather than traditional text-based programming.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to apply MBD methodologies to reduce development costs and speed up the time to market for their embedded software products.

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

• Select and use the appropriate tools for implementing MBD.
• Leverage MBD to achieve rapid development in the early stages of their embedded software projects.
• Accelerate the release of their embedded software into the market.

Format of the course

• A combination of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice
