Training Overview
Targeted Learning with a System
Concept
Learning with structure – for stronger teams and better project outcomes
Our accredited training courses combine software architecture, requirements engineering, and quality assurance, consistently integrating communication. After all, sustainable project success doesn't arise from isolated disciplines but from their effective interaction.
Our courses build upon each other, foster interaction, and are interconnected in content and teaching approach – with all materials coming from a single source. This creates a shared understanding within teams, reducing friction and measurably improving quality.
Customized learning paths for each role strengthen methodological knowledge and collaboration: requirements become clearer, architectures more robust, and testing more targeted. Decision-makers benefit from streamlined processes, better control, and more stable projects in the long term.

-
A domain-oriented, systematic approach reduces risks
-
Quality requirements are implemented precisely and efficiently
-
Testability is built in – improving long-term product quality
-
Solutions become more maintainable – saving cost over time
-
Collaboration with RE and QA improves – enabling better project outcome
Quality Assurance
Typical roles: Testers, Test Managers, QA Leads
Recommended Course Sequence:
Tester => CPRE-F / Agile Primer => CPSA-F
-
Tester: Core understanding of test processes, -methods and -design
-
Strategic thinking, KPI management, team leadership
-
CPRE-F / Agile Primer: Analyzing requirements – improved testbasis
-
CPSA-F: Systemic architectural thinking – focused testing strategy
Business Value:
-
Early testing reduces defect costs and saves resources
-
Test processes become more efficient and risk-based

Improving Efficiency by Avoiding Misunderstandings: CPRE-FL
-
Development & Requirements Engineering:
CPRE establishes a shared language for requirements. Developers and REs coordinate more effectively, reduce misunderstandings, and deliver more targeted results – aligning business goals with technical implementation. -
Development & Quality Assurance:
A common understanding of requirements streamlines testing. QA feedback becomes clearer, developers can interpret it more effectively – accelerating defect resolution and improving product quality. -
Requirements Engineering & Quality Assurance:
REs provide testable requirements, enabling Quality Assurance to develop suitable test cases early on. Shared terminology and criteria create clarity—strengthening trust and reducing friction during reviews and approvals.

A targeted implementation through holistic thinking: CPSA-F
-
Development & Requirements Engineering:
CPSA-F creates a common understanding of the relationship between requirements and software architecture. Developers and REs coordinate early on, clarify open questions, and avoid conflicts—making implementation more targeted and sustainable. -
Development & Quality Assurance:
Architectural decisions are clearly documented and communicated. Testers gain early insights into the system structure, and developers better understand QA feedback. This enhances collaboration and improves test alignment. -
Requirements Engineering & Quality Assurance:
Architectural awareness creates common ground for quality goals. REs define clearer requirements, QA plans more targeted tests – enabling requirements, architecture, and testing to work hand in hand.
ISTQB®
Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) v4.0
Shared Understanding of Quality for More Effective Testing: CTFL
-
Development & Requirements Engineering:
It raises awareness of testability. As a result, requirements are articulated more clearly, thoughtfully structured, and supplemented with explicit and detailed acceptance criteria. This reduces uncertainty, queries, and rework during implementation. -
Development & Quality Assurance:
A standardized tester training establishes a common language for both roles. Terminology, defect classifications, and test phases are clearly understood—feedback is implemented more precisely, and issues are resolved faster. -
Requirements Engineering & Quality Assurance:
Testers and requirements engineers develop a shared understanding of quality. Reviews help identify ambiguities early and ensure that requirements are testable—reducing testing effort and the risk of defects during validation.
Advanced Courses
CPRE Agile Primer: Improved predictability through agile practices
-
Development & Requirements Engineering:
In agile projects, the Agile Primer fosters continuous alignment between developers and product owners. A shared understanding of requirements and practices improves refinements and backlog prioritization, enabling faster change implementation. -
Development & Quality Assurance:
Testers and developers agree early on the Definition of Done and test cases. Issues are resolved collaboratively within the sprint – fewer defects at the end, higher product quality. -
Requirements Engineering & Quality Assurance:
Testers and REs work closely together – for example, defining acceptance tests before development starts. Shared agile knowledge leads to testable, complete requirements – accelerating acceptance and enabling predictable quality.

A Shared Language to Eliminate Inefficiencies: CPSA-A DDD
-
Development & Requirements Engineering:
DDD strengthens collaboration by establishing a shared language (Ubiquitous Language). Requirements and implementation are modeled together – reducing misunderstandings and enabling more sustainable solutions. -
Development & Quality Assurance:
Testers and developers share the same business context. Tests reflect real scenarios, and developers immediately understand their relevance. This streamlines issue resolution and makes discussions more effective. -
Requirements Engineering & Quality Assurance:
REs and testers work with the same domain models. Requirements become clearer, tests more focused. Unclear definitions are corrected early – ensuring traceable implementation and a shared understanding of quality criteria.
