Description
The iSAQB ARCEVAL course teaches systematic methods to evaluate software architectures. This module of the Certified Professional for Software Architecture (CPSA) Advanced Level helps professionals verify if a system meets its quality requirements.
ATAM: Identifying risks and design trade-offs.
Quality Models: Using ISO/IEC 25010 to define software quality.
Review Techniques: Performing audits using checklists and walkthroughs.
Economic Evaluation: Analyzing the cost-benefit of technical decisions.
This training is for software architects and senior developers who must justify technical choices. Participants learn to document results and provide clear recommendations. Completion provides credit points toward the iSAQB CPSA-A certificate.

Certification & Exam
Attend an accredited training course for the ARCEVAL module. This module awards 20 credit points in the “methodical competence” area toward the Advanced Level certification.
After completing the training, the credit points count toward your eligibility for the CPSA-A final certification.
To be eligible to sit the CPSA-A exam you must:
Hold the CPSA-F (Foundation Level) certificate.
Have at least three years of full-time professional IT experience, including participation in the design and development of at least two different IT systems.
Accumulate at least 70 credit points total across the three competence areas (methodical, technological, communicative), with minimum 10 points in each area.
What You Will Achieve
Learn elementary methods and techniques and practice applying them to reflect on software architectures.
Conduct assessment workshops in different roles and apply what you have learned directly in your project.
Define and prioritize quality goals using scenario-based techniques to establish clear criteria for the evaluation.
Identify architectural risks and trade-offs to provide a factual basis for technical decisions.
Compare different evaluation methods to select the most suitable approach for a specific project context.
