iSAQB Certification helps build trust with stakeholders and colleagues

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the course, candidates will be able to:

Independently carry out the essential steps in designing software architectures for small and medium-sized systems.
Apply methods and principles for design, documentation and evaluation of software architectures, independent of specific development processes.
Coordinate essential software architecture decisions with other project participants from the fields of requirements management, project management, testing, and development.
Document and communicate software architectures based on architecture patterns and technical concepts.
