How do you measure testability? Supportability? Understandability?
Edit me
Description
Demonstrated management/mitigation of issues relative to manageability, maintainability, supportability, extensibility, and flexibility. Demonstrated competence in implementation techniques.
Expectations
- Can describe how they manage supporting, detracting pairs of quality attributes to determine impact of tradeoffs
| Configuration Management | Field of IT management that focuses on establishing and maintaining consistency of a system’s or product’s performance and its functional and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout its life. |
| Operations Change Management | Raising and recording of changes, assessing the impact, cost, benefit and risk of proposed changes, developing business justification and obtaining approval, managing and coordinating change implementation, monitoring and reporting on implementation, reviewing and closing change requests. |
| System Software Maintenance | Processes that lead to requests for modification of a software product after delivery to correct faults, to improve performance or other attributes. |
| Database Administration | The installation, configuration, upgrade, administration, monitoring and maintenance of database engines. |

| Iasa Certification Level | Learning Objective |
|---|---|
| CITA- Foundation | - How do you measure testability? Supportability? Understandability? |
| - Whose responsibility is that development-related attributes are considered during the design phase? | |
| - How should you balance extensibility with the need to deliver on time and budget? | |
| - What are the side effects of poorly designed development-related quality attributes? | |
| CITA – Associate | - Where do you draw the line between extensibility and additional cost? |
| - What is considered a well-maintained system? | |
| - Quantify the value of flexibility/extensibility attributes. | |
| - What is the difference between customization and personalization? | |
| CITA – Professional | - What was your “design for operations” strategy? |
| - What specification for maintainability did you follow to claim that the system was easy to maintain? | |
| CITA – Distinguished | - Was your solution flexible or extensible – or both? Explain. |
| - When Operations rejected the hand-over due to poor manageability, what were your options? |
