Attending the iSAQB® CPSA® Advanced Training in Domain-Driven Design (DDD) – Who Should Take The Course and Why?

Which audience does the module DDD address?

The module DDD is aimed at software archi­tects and software devel­opers who not only want to feel at home in technology, but who would also like to learn about methods and concepts that support them in deeply under­standing the domain and modeling it in software.

This module is also really rewarding for product owners, project managers, and requirements engineers, apart from the certification for devel­opers and archi­tects that the iSAQB provides with the Advanced Level. They get a good insight into how the domain of devel­opers and archi­tects is trans­ferred into software and how they can partic­ipate in this process in a goal-oriented manner.

Which skills do software archi­tects acquire from the module, what exactly do they learn in this training course?

Partic­i­pants will learn about a variety of methods and concepts in the DDD module that will support them in penetrating the domain and modeling it in software.

Concepts taught are:

• A common language for domain experts, devel­opers, and archi­tects: the Ubiquitous Language.
• Domain-driven design patterns, also called building blocks, for a consis­tently struc­tured class structure using Entity, Value Object, Aggregate, Service, etc.
• Bounded context and context map for the struc­turing of module structures.

Methods taught are:

• Requirements Engineering with Event Storming and Ubiquitous Language.
• Strategic design to break down the domain into subdo­mains and define bounded contexts in a context map.
• Tactical design to define the class struc­tures within a bounded context.

This enables partic­i­pants to better under­stand what business users say about their work processes and needs, and to build software systems that enable their users to work efficiently and in a goal-oriented manner.

How is the module relevant for the profes­sional practice of software architects?

Many software archi­tects today work on software systems that were developed years ago. Modern­ization is not only important in regard to the technology used, but these large old software systems should also be modernized struc­turally and broken down into smaller subsystems so that they can be maintained more easily.

DDD was origi­nally conceived for new software devel­opment projects, but it also has a lot to offer for this case – the modern­ization of legacy systems.
