Software Design and Development Fundamentals Literacy (Beginner Level)
- 30m
- 30 questions
The Software Design and Development Fundamentals Literacy benchmark will measure your understanding of the basic concepts of software engineering. You will be assessed on your skills to understand the underlying context and theory of software design and modelling paradigms such as OOAD, UML, and Design Patterns & Principles, and how to track and manage changes to code using SCM tools like Git Hub. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have the skills to recognize the importance of embracing software design and development principles for building and delivering robust applications while implementing the right SDLC model, suitable design patterns, models, and best practices to be followed while writing programs.
