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

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

RE@Agile draws inspiration from both IREB’s perspective on Agile values and an Agile approach to Requirements Engineering values. The content 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. Additionally, it explores essential process elements in Agile product development and highlights the motivation behind adopting Agile in development processes.

A key focus is the synergy between Requirements Engineering and Agile, including 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. Two examination options are available:

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

This Advanced Level module, RE@Agile, is designed for Requirements Engineers and agile practitioners. It emphasizes the integration of Requirements Engineering practices and techniques into agile development processes, while also focusing on the application of agile concepts, methods, and key process elements within Requirements Engineering activities.

The Examination

This course prepares participants for the Advanced Level certification exams offered by:

• RE@Agile - Practitioner (certificate awarded upon passing a multiple-choice exam)
• RE@Agile - Specialist (certificate awarded upon successful completion of a written assignment)

This three-day course is conducted as a live, instructor-led session, available either online (remote) or on-site (in a classroom setting).

The program provides methods and best practices for Requirements Engineering that can be implemented in any organization, irrespective of its business domain, with a specific focus on elicitation (or extraction of requirements) and their consolidation (negotiation and integration).

The course content also serves as preparation for the Advanced level certification.
