iSAQB® DSL - Advanced Level Certification

This module awards 10 credit points in the technological competence area and 20 credit points in the methodical competence area toward the Advanced Level certificate.

After completing the training you receive a course certificate and the credit points count toward your eligibility for the full CPSA-A certification.

To be eligible for the CPSA-A final examination you must:

• Already hold the CPSA-F (Foundation Level) certificate.

• Have a minimum of three years of full-time IT professional experience, including participation in the design and development of at least two different IT systems.

• Accumulate a total of at least 70 credit points across the three competence areas (technological, methodical, communicative). Each area must hold at least 10 credit points.

Once you meet those prerequisites and total the required points (including from the DSL module), you register for the CPSA-A certification exam (an assignment plus an oral exam by iSAQB-appointed examiners).

Upon successful completion of the exam, you receive the CPSA-A certificate, confirming your advanced competence in software architecture.

After completing the training, participants will be able to:

• Design Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) that efficiently model complex rules and processes.

• Integrate DSLs into existing software architectures and leverage their potential for low-code approaches.

• Develop the syntax and semantics of a DSL and evaluate its application areas.

• Use tools and techniques such as parser generators, type systems, and IDE integrations to develop and optimize DSLs.

• Improve the quality and maintainability of software through the strategic use of DSLs.

• Create user-friendly DSLs that meet both technical and organizational requirements.
