This Graduate Diploma in DevOps and Continuous Software Engineering at University of Limerick allows participants to develop specialised knowledge and skills in this growth area. They will benefit from a programme that is distinctive in its relevance to industry and business. They will be provided with an opportunity to gain up-to-date knowledge and skills in DevOps and Software Engineering including machine learning with input from industry, both in terms of content and opportunity to apply learning in real-life contexts.

The main areas of study are focused on modern approaches for highly productive software development and operations, in realistic project scenarios, in an industrial context, and at-scale.

 

The main areas of study are focused on modern approaches for highly productive software development and operations, in realistic project scenarios, in an industrial context, and at-scale. This includes for instance:

• Translating business/user objectives into system requirements and models, dealing with constant change in those
• Modern approaches for testing and quality assurance, test-driven development
• Ensuring non-functional requirements (e.g., performance, availability, reliability, security, privacy)
• Software development paradigms and practices, Agile approaches
• Software development at-scale, with high-frequency updates o CI/CD, Pipelines, Strategies
• Containerisation
• Infrastructures and platforms for large-scale software systems
• Integration of software development with infrastructure and operations, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).
