Abstract

Developing academic education programmes for software engineers is a difficult task mainly due to three main factors: (1) ever-changing information and communication technologies produced by the industry and meant for citizens living in digital disruptions age, (2) lack of official or de-facto standards for the software engineering domain, (3) slow pace of the standardisation bodies and of the academia for deploying standard competence frameworks or education programmes. This applies more especially to DevOps which regroups a set of skills being the most demanded today by the job market. This paper is a first attempt to introduce a standard based development process to derive a DevOps education programme for graduate education. It is introduced as a generic process mainly based on the SWECOM standard. This process is applied to generate a proposal for a significant DevOps graduate academic programme definition in a comprehensive and, most importantly, in a skill oriented manner.
