This course explores contemporary development principles and practices, including the role of project management, testing, and business analysis within both Agile and traditional Waterfall environments.

Designed as a workshop-style session, the course provides delegates with opportunities to ask questions and examine real-life applications of the material covered.

The course is structured as a series of modules, with each module lasting approximately 1.5 hours. Consequently, a single training day would consist of four modules.

Intended Audience

This course is designed for individuals seeking a rapid overview of contemporary Waterfall and Agile software development methodologies and their impact on project management, testing, and business analysis.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) process comprises five distinct stages: empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In today's increasingly complex world, we frequently encounter challenges that demand specialised approaches. Design Thinking provides the framework to navigate these complexities. By mastering design thinking, individuals can address intricate problems effectively, communicate with greater clarity, persuade more efficiently, drive improved business outcomes, and enhance both organizational and personal behaviour and performance.

• How DT functions: learn from people and the problem, identify patterns, design a model (understanding model drift), test the model, evaluate it, and re-engineer as necessary.
• The interplay between DT, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: persona, stakeholder map, customer journey map, service blueprint, business model innovation.
• Application of DT: cultivating a design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approaches, agile estimation techniques, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technological fluency, forward-thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To grasp the fundamentals and nuances of DT.
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
• To experiment with, experience, and practice DT.

Delivery:

This is a one-day (4-hour) training course comprising:

• Lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions),
• Group exercises (30% - group dynamics, games, group discussion, and mock-conflict resolution exercises),
• Individual activities (15% - writing, designing, and peer discussion)
• And other activities (15% - videos, reading).

Note: Due to the nature of this course, a minimum group size of 3 participants is required.

Target Audience:

Technical Team Leaders and Software Developers

Learning Objectives:

The primary goal of this training is to equip participants with the skills to design advanced development and project structures in C#.

Throughout the course, students will become familiar with MSDN resources and tools that support the development process, including Microsoft Visual Studio and ReSharper.

This two-day course encompasses all essential design principles, integrating code examples with contemporary industrial technologies. It serves as a highly valuable resource for automotive software developers.

Microservice architecture is an approach to developing a software application as a suite of small, independent services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms such as an HTTP resource API. These services can be efficiently deployed using continuous automation systems and bypass the need for centralized management. Microservices can be written in different programming languages and integrate with different data storage systems.

This instructor-led, live training is aimed at enterprise developers and architects. It introduces microservice architecture from a .Net perspective, presents migration strategies from a monolithic system, and walks participants through the creation and deployment of a sample microservice-based application.

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

• Understand when to use and when not to use microservice architecture
• Create and implement a testing strategy for microservices
• Deploy a sample microservice-based application into a production environment
• Refactor a monolithic application into services

Audience

• Developers
• Architects

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Objective:

To empower Technical Analysts and Designers with the knowledge to navigate the software implementation of requirements, ensuring clear traceability between business specifications and the resulting software code.

Spanning two days, this training course supports technical analysts and designers in crafting specifications derived from business analysts' descriptions. By translating these into software component representations, the system components effectively map system requirements to software component structures.

Ultimately, these technical specifications are realised in software code and validated through component-based testing. The resulting software components exhibit high adaptability to change, as they enable separate tracing from the implementation level up through system behaviour layers. This tracing extends from user interfaces to the business object layer via application components, where actor usage choices are recorded.

Target Audience

• Performance Testers
• Performance Engineers
• Developers aiming to advance their careers as Performance Architects.

Course Format

The course comprises 50% theoretical lectures and 50% practical laboratory sessions.

Software Engineering begins where programming ends. This course provides a robust foundation in Software Engineering, bridging the gap between coding and rigorous engineering practices. Participants will gain an overview of fundamental concepts and terminology standard to the field. Throughout the training, you will acquire techniques for planning, implementing, and validating software projects, as well as methods to evaluate and enhance development processes.

Target Audience:

This course is designed for software developers from diverse backgrounds who possess knowledge of at least one programming language.

As distributed systems become increasingly complex, the challenge has shifted from the intricacies of a single application to the complexity inherent in the architecture of interconnected systems. This course explores the dynamic relationship between Software Architecture and Technical Enterprise Architecture. These two domains are closely linked, yet this connection is often not fully articulated. For instance, decomposing a complex monolithic application into two distinct systems that communicate via web services necessitates significant changes to both the individual systems and the architectural interactions between them.

Throughout this course, we will examine the trade-offs involved, along with prevalent patterns and solutions for managing complex systems and the communication channels within and between them.

In this instructor-led, live training in Faro participants will learn how to use Tosca to carry out end-to-end (web + backend) testing. The training combines theory with practice in a live lab environment, giving participants the chance to interact with the technology, the instructor, and their peers.

The training starts with an overview of traditional code and script-based automation testing and contrasts it with Tosca's model-based (MBT) approach. Participants learn how to create and execute test cases using Tosca's default modules as well as how to custom-build their own modules for execution.

From software modeling principles to test coverage across different browsers, this training walks participants through both theory and practice and enables them to implement their own testing solution in Tosca.
