What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Workflow charts and logical diagrams — develop independently to describe input, output, and processing steps before converting them into coded instructions for routine business applications.
  • Existing programs requiring efficiency improvements or new functionality — revise and expand with limited oversight, applying knowledge of system capabilities and symbolic logic.
  • Recurring defects and logic errors — diagnose and resolve by making targeted code changes and re-running validation tests across familiar application components.
  • Software packages supporting specific operational tasks such as inventory tracking or data retrieval — write, update, and maintain in alignment with defined user requirements.
  • Trial runs of updated programs and software applications — conduct systematically and document findings to verify correct outputs before releasing changes to a staging environment.
  • Stakeholder clarifications on program intent and functional requirements — gather through structured consultations with technical and managerial personnel and incorporate into revised specifications.
  • Object-oriented and component-based design patterns — apply routinely when developing modular code within an established application architecture.
  • Web platform development tools and related frameworks — use to build and maintain web-based application features according to project standards and timelines.
  • Comprehensive program revision histories and technical documentation — compile and maintain so that teammates can understand design decisions and subsequent code changes.
  • Time and task estimates for assigned development work — produce and manage independently, adjusting priorities in response to shifting project requirements within a development team.
