Introduction and Overview of Requirements Engineering 

Model Based Development (MBD) is a software development methodology that enables faster, more cost-effective development of dynamic systems such as control systems, signal processing and communication systems. It relies on graphic modeling rather than the traditional text based programming.

In this instructor-led, live training participants will learn how to apply MBD methodologies to reduce development costs and accelerate the time to market of their embedded software products.

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

• Select and utilize the right tools for implementing MBD.
• Use MBD to carry out rapid development in the early stages of their embedded software project.
• Shorten the release of their embedded software into the market.

Format of the course

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

This instructor-led, live training in the Netherlands (online or onsite) is aimed at persons who wish to understand requirements analysis and conduct requirements analysis efficiently and accurately using analysis techniques for their projects.

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

• identify different types of requirements.
• understand the overall concepts of, and activities within, requirements analysis.
• be familiar with the requirements analysis methodology.
• use different requirements analysis techniques to their advantage.
• structure requirements in order to communicate efficiently with architects and developers through an iterative requirement gathering process.

This course demonstrates through hands-on practice the fundamentals and applications of software engineering, requirements engineering and testing.

Process mining, or Automated Business Process Discovery (ABPD), is a technique that applies algorithms to event logs for the purpose of analyzing business processes. Process mining goes beyond data storage and data analysis; it bridges data with processes and provides insights into the trends and patterns that affect process efficiency. 

Format of the Course

• The course starts with an overview of the most commonly used techniques for process mining. We discuss the various process discovery algorithms and tools used for discovering and modeling processes based on raw event data. Real-life case studies are examined and data sets are analyzed using the ProM open-source framework.

The course extends possessed knowledge of UML. During the training, we focus on the practical use of the language of the UML object-oriented analysis.

Business analysis is the process of examining, understanding, and defining business needs in order to develop solutions that meet those needs. Jest a key element in the process of managing changes in the organization and designing new business solutions. Business analysis aims to ensure that technological, process or organizational solutions meet business goals and needs. Jest a key element in ensuring the effectiveness of projects and changes in the organization, by ensuring that the solutions introduced are accurate, feasible and fully meet business requirements.

Objective:

This training course aims at helping business analysts to learn to model efficiently their business processes using BPMN as well as resources that are handled by their activities. Being conducted by an agile enterprise framework, business analysts learn during this course how to use appropriate BPMN notations and business extensions of UML in order to deal with their "business requirements" and coherently drive underlying design level activities.
