The ITS Software Development certification is administered through Certiport/Pearson VUE and recognized by employers as a validated, vendor-neutral credential covering the full breadth of foundational software development. Comparable instructor-led software development courses cost $1,000 to $2,000 and require fixed attendance. This CertKit gives you 18+ hours of structured Skillsoft content and a MeasureUp exam for a fraction of the cost, on your own schedule. You book your Certiport exam when you are genuinely ready. This CertKit is built for you if You are studying software development and want a Certiport-recognized credential to validate it You are changing careers into software development and need broad foundational certification You work in IT support or QA and want to demonstrate programming knowledge to move into development You want a vendor-neutral software development cert before specializing in a specific language or platform You need to demonstrate knowledge of the full SDLC, OOP, databases, and web applications in one exam Roles you can pursue after ITS Software Development Junior Software Developer Application Developer (entry level) Software QA Engineer Junior Web Application Developer IT Specialist / Technical Support Developer What does the ITS Software Development exam cover Introduction to Programming + Learn the fundamentals of computer programming, including decision structures, repetition structures (loops), and exception handling. This section establishes the core algorithmic thinking that underpins every programming language and software development discipline. Object-Oriented Programming + Understand the four pillars of OOP: objects, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. You will learn how to implement class hierarchies, extend functionality through inheritance, and apply method overriding — knowledge directly tested in enterprise development interviews. General Software Development and SDLC + Apply the Software Development Life Cycle from requirements to deployment, incorporating Agile concepts and testing methodologies. This section covers application specifications, data structures, and sorting algorithms — the theoretical knowledge employers expect from any credentialed developer. Web Application Development + Learn web page development fundamentals, ASP.NET application development, IIS web hosting, and web services. This domain gives you practical grounding in server-side web development and the architecture behind the web applications that power modern businesses. Desktop Application Development + Build Windows Forms applications, console-based applications, and Windows services. Desktop application development remains a significant part of enterprise software, and this domain ensures you understand the full spectrum of application types beyond web-only development. Databases and SQL + Work with database management systems, query methods, stored procedures, and database connection approaches. Every real-world application reads and writes data — this section ensures you understand the database layer that sits behind every production software system. Where can ITS Software Development take your career Career paths and next certifications after ITS Software Development + ITS Software Development is one of the broadest entry-level IT credentials available, covering OOP, SDLC, web, desktop, and database development in a single exam. After certification, many professionals build language-specific depth with Developer Fundamentals, advance into full-stack work with the Full Stack Developer Journey, or choose a specialization from our Software Development collection. Frequently Asked Questions What programming language does the ITS Software Development exam use + The ITS Software Development exam is primarily based on C# and ANSI SQL. Candidates are expected to have some familiarity with C# for the OOP, web application, and desktop application domains, and with SQL for the database domain. The training in this CertKit covers the relevant C# and SQL concepts needed for exam success — no prior experience with either language is assumed. What is the ITS Software Development exam format and passing score + The Certiport ITS Software Development exam (ITSPC-SOFT-DEV) consists of 35 to 45 questions to be completed in 50 minutes, with a passing score of 700 out of 1000. Questions test your ability to apply programming and software development concepts across all six exam domains, with a mix of multiple choice, scenario-based, and code-reading question types. How does ITS Software Development compare to language-specific certifications like ITS Java or ITS Python + ITS Software Development is a broader, language-agnostic exam that covers programming concepts, SDLC, OOP, web, desktop, and database development using C# and SQL. Language-specific ITS certifications (Java, Python, JavaScript) go deeper into a single language's syntax, features, and standard library. ITS Software Development is a good choice if you want to demonstrate broad software development knowledge, while language-specific certs are better if you want to prove proficiency in a specific programming language. Is the exam voucher included and how do I register for the exam + The exam voucher is not included in this training. The exam is administered globally by Pearson VUE through Certiport-authorized testing centers. Once your preparation is complete, you register and purchase your exam voucher directly through the Certiport website at certiport.pearsonvue.com.
