If I have experience as a software developer for 6 months in India and then after doing my masters I have another 6 months of experience as a software developer in Canada, does that satisfy the minimum 1-year work experience requirement for express entry or does it need to be continuous employment for 1 year in a given company?

No - it does not satisfy the 1 year requirement. The 1 year of work experience must be continuous.

Can I count my 6 months training towards work experience which was done after post graduation diploma but was a mandatory training to sit for an exam to get a license?

Later, after 1 year(after getting my license ) ,I was recruited back by the same company as a full-time permanent employee

I was paid a training allowance and have salary slips too.
