Dark Factory Engineering
Learn how to automate your entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) with AI.
Description
The term dark factory comes from Industry 4.0 and refers to a factory so highly automated that no one is needed on the floor: the lights can literally be switched off. That same idea can now be applied to software development. By carefully automating your Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) with AI agents, you can hand off much of the repetitive work to the "factory" while you focus on design, direction, and quality.
In this course you build such an automated software factory step by step. You learn how to put AI agents to work at every stage of the SDLC, from analysis and implementation through testing, review, and deployment. You explore which parts you can safely automate, how to keep humans in the loop where it matters, and how to safeguard the quality and reliability of the end result. By the end of the course, you will have the practical skills to bring AI-driven automation to your own development process.
