(3 semester credits)
Students in this course are provided a general overview of software engineering in the context of testing and quality assurance, both of which are important facets of modern software engineering that have technical, financial, and ethical implications for organizations. Students explore focused topics, such as testing methods; developing tests at the unit, integration, and systems level; techniques for stress testing; complexity and test metrics; quality management standards; and configuration management. Students have the opportunity to develop a critical awareness and comprehensive understanding of software testing and quality assurance, and the capability to create successful testing and quality assurance processes to support the needs of modern software engineering projects.
