What Is ASDC?

What Is the Avaya Solutions Developer Certificate?

The Avaya Solutions Developer Certificate (ASDC) is a vendor-issued credential from Avaya that validates a developer's ability to build on Avaya's platforms. It is not a generic "software developer" certificate and it isn't tied to any other organization that happens to share the same three-letter acronym. If you've landed on a different explanation elsewhere, it's likely describing an unrelated credential - this site, and this article, cover the Avaya-specific version exclusively.

Within the ASDC family, the currently active specialization is AXP Public Cloud Developer, tracked under the code ASDC-0014. AXP stands for Avaya Experience Platform, Avaya's cloud contact center and customer experience suite. The specialization exists to prove that a developer can extend, integrate, and build against AXP's public-cloud APIs rather than legacy on-premises tooling.

If this is your first exposure to the credential, it's worth reading a broader breakdown at ASDC Certification before diving into the technical specifics below, since that page maps out how the badge fits into Avaya's overall developer program.

Credential Details: ASDC-0014 and the AXP Public Cloud Developer Badge

The AXP Public Cloud Developer badge is issued and hosted by Avaya through Credly, which functions as the verifiable, shareable record of the credential once earned. The badge itself is tied to a single gating requirement: passing the AXP Public Cloud APIs Specialized Test (61510T). There is no separate practical portfolio submission or peer review layered on top - the specialized test is the qualifying event.

Avaya documents this pairing in its program overview dated September 6, 2024, which associates the 61510T test with corresponding 61510W training content. Candidates researching the credential should treat that overview, along with Avaya's Credly badge page, as the primary source of truth for what's currently required - details can shift between program revisions.

For a deeper explanation of the terminology itself - including how "ASDC" is used across Avaya's documentation - see ASDC Meaning and What Does ASDC Stand For?.

Exam Format: Inside the 61510T Specialized Test

The 61510T test is the technical checkpoint for the AXP Public Cloud Developer badge. It's built around real developer tasks rather than abstract theory - expect questions that probe how you'd actually call an API, structure an SDK integration, or interpret a response payload from AXP's cloud services.

It's important to keep this test conceptually separate from Avaya's AACC Orchestration Designer test, which belongs to a different Avaya credential track entirely. Study materials that blend the two will send you down the wrong path - 61510T is scoped specifically to public-cloud API development on AXP, not on-premises orchestration design.

Because Avaya periodically updates its APIs and SDKs, always check current API versions and any published SDK deprecation notices before relying on code examples - including ones you find in third-party study guides. A code sample that was accurate last year may reference an endpoint or authentication flow that's since been superseded.

Core Skill Areas You're Expected to Master

The AXP Public Cloud Developer specialization is built around a defined set of associated skills. These aren't abstract categories - they map directly to the kinds of code and configuration you'll be asked to reason about on 61510T.

For a full breakdown of how these skill areas translate into a structured exam blueprint, see ASDC Exam Domains 2026: Complete Guide to All 0 Content Areas. It's a useful companion once you've absorbed the individual skill areas above and want to see how they connect.

Who Actually Earns This Credential

The AXP Public Cloud Developer badge is aimed at developers who work directly with Avaya's cloud contact center platform - whether as in-house engineers at companies running AXP, or as consultants and systems integrators building custom integrations for Avaya customers. Roles that typically pursue this credential include:

• Developers building custom chatbot or messaging integrations on AXP
• Integration engineers connecting AXP's APIs to CRM, workforce, or analytics systems
• Solution consultants who need to speak credibly to AXP's developer-facing capabilities
• Partners and systems integrators delivering AXP-based customer experience projects

Registration, Training, and the Avaya Learning Center Transition

Avaya has historically delivered exam access and training through the Avaya Learning Center, but that platform is being decommissioned on June 30, 2026. Going forward, candidates should route through the Customer Training Hub and the Avaya Learning tile inside OneCare for transition support related to booking and accessing training and testing resources.

The 61510W training content is designed to pair with the 61510T test, so it's worth reviewing what that training actually covers before assuming you need (or don't need) it. For the practical mechanics of getting registered and understanding associated costs, see ASDC Certification Cost 2026: Complete Pricing Breakdown and ASDC Exam Dates 2026: Testing Windows, Deadlines & Scheduling. If you're unsure whether you meet the baseline expectations Avaya sets for candidates, ASDC Requirements 2026: Eligibility, Prerequisites & How to Qualify is a good next stop.

Building a Study Plan Around the Domains

A study plan for 61510T works best when it's sequenced around the skill areas rather than treated as one undifferentiated block of "exam content." Techniques like spaced review sessions are useful, but only when applied to the actual AXP skill areas - not generic developer trivia.
