Systems Architecture, Design, Integration and Test

Systems engineers are the primary architects of the systems to be designed and built.

The course starts with a deep dive into architecture development derived from customer objectives and requirements, breaking down the system or system of systems into subsystems, elements and components.

It then covers system level decision making and approach to designing the subsystems and elements taking into account performance, design reuse, cost, schedule and more.

We then look at integration of many subsystems and subassemblies into a cohesive and complex system that meets all the objectives.

We examine different approaches to testing the subsystems and the complete system.

The course covers verification of requirements and validation of the system against the objectives.

We examine verification and validation (V&V) methodologies.

We examine test plans, environmental testing and test procedures.

We also cover agile test environment and DevOps to increase efficiency and productivity.
