iSAQB CPSA-Advanced Architecture Evaluation (ARCEVAL) Live-Online - Webinar von Albion Academy GmbH

Architectural evaluation and assessment is an essential task for an architect. Through architectural assessment, you provide more clarity in decision-making, gain confidence in architectural design, and avoid setbacks.

In this seminar, you will learn how to reflect on the architecture in order to make improvements, introduce enhancements, or discard approaches for valid reasons.

Through architectural assessments, architects can:

• Communicate and justify architectural decisions.
• Uncover risks and cost drivers in the architecture or in the implementation.
• Gain insight about architectural compromises made.
• Identify opportunities for improvement in the architecture.
• Perform conformance to ensure that the implementation is consistent with the architectural design.
• Verify that the architectural decisions meet the requirements, especially the quality requirements.
• Better estimate and reduce efforts and costs for architectural changes.

You will first learn qualitative assessment methods that you can use early on in the project. This allows you to get off to a fast start to promote communication and transparency.

We will also discuss quantitative methods that provide measurement results and give your teams current indicators of the quality of their work. In this way, you keep the architecture work continually on target, even during the hectic day-to-day development work.

The iSAQB Certified Professional for Software Architecture (CPSA) program offers you an internationally recognized, standardized continuing education for software architecture. This accredited iSAQB CPSA-Advanced Architecture Evaluation (ARCEVAL) training conforms to the current ISAQB curriculum.

After completing this course, you will have achieved the following level of knowledge:

• Benefits and goals of architectural assessment
• Requirements for an architectural assessment
• Qualitative vs. quantitative evaluation methods
• Clarification of quality requirements
• Development of an appropriate design for quality requirements
• ATAM — Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method
• Approach for preparing and conducting  architecture evaluation workshops
• Embedding assessment methods into existing processes
• Evaluation of existing systems (or building blocks)
