IEEE Computer Society Rolls Out Assessment Courses for its CSDA and CSDP Software Development Certification Exams

The IEEE Computer Society is mounting its line of career-assistance assistance for software developers with the introduction of assessment courses for its Certified Software Development Associate and Certified Software Development Professional examinations.

The CSDA and CSDP assessment courses are intended to help software professionals who wish to evaluate their mastery of the software engineering body of knowledge, particularly those preparing for the CSDA or CSDP examinations. The courses help software developers assess the breadth and depth of their understanding in the 15 Knowledge Areas (KAs) contained in Version 3 of the Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK Guide).

The Computer Society has prosperity of high-quality content, and the relevant knowledge of our members and contributors is unmatched, said IEEE Computer Society Executive Director Angela Burgess. When we combine those strengths with the professional education tools our partners offer, I think we have a very robust and substantive set of courses.

The online, self-paced judgment courses were developed by 14 subject-matter experts in the software engineering field. We paired up software engineering experts from industry and academia so each course provides a balanced viewpoint. The self-assessment quizzes are particularly effective at investigative areas of strength and highlighting resources for further study.
