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

This introductory course is designed to meet the needs of individuals involved in Requirements Engineering and Agile methodologies. It caters to professionals such as project or IT managers, domain experts, system analysts, software developers, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and those working within Agile organizations.

The RE@Agile course draws inspiration from both IREB’s perspective on Agile values and an Agile perspective on Requirements Engineering values. The content covers the classification and evaluation of Requirements Engineering work products and techniques in an Agile context, as well as Agile work products and techniques in a Requirements Engineering context. It also delves into essential process elements in Agile product development and highlights the motivation for adopting Agile in the development process.

A key focus is on the synergy between Requirements Engineering and Agile: understanding Agile principles related to Requirements Engineering and the alignment of an Agile mindset with core Requirements Engineering values.

The Examination

This course serves as a foundation for the RE@Agile Primer examination, which offers two options:

• A proctored multiple-choice examination that provides an official RE@Agile Primer certificate. This exam is similar to the CPRE Foundation Level and Advanced Level multiple-choice examinations but lasts 40 minutes.
• An online multiple-choice self-assessment that confirms participation in the course.

This Advanced Level Module, RE@Agile, is designed for Requirements Engineers and agile professionals. It aims to enhance understanding and application of practices and techniques from the Requirements Engineering discipline within agile development processes. Additionally, it focuses on comprehending and implementing the key concepts, techniques, and essential process elements of agile approaches in Requirements Engineering processes.

The Examination

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

• 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 in-person (classroom).

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

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