I would have to say yes. Knowing everything about CF does not make you a
good developer. A good if not in-depth knowledge of Database Design is
essential. An understanding of the Software Lifecycle is also a bonus.

I think the idea is not to get into the situation that Microsoft got into
where the MS certification program became a bit farcical at one point with
people specifically studying to pass the exam only with little or no
experience behind them. I believe Allaire is trying to say, that should
somebody have the certification, then they will be able to implement your
web application providing sound software engineering approaches for all
aspects of the application. This is the right approach.

Good point, but my question still would be ... should passage of the test
hinge on skills and knowledge beyond CFML?
