Summary
The course acquaints students in detail with the design phase of software in terms of quality. It also deals with software testing and quality assurance throughout the software development life cycle. Students will gain knowledge about the various levels of testing and techniques used in these levels, ways to evaluate the quality of software and the tests themselves. The course is also focused on the issue of software quality from the perspective of computer security - "safety" and "security".
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The student knows intimately:
- Qualitative requirements and quality attributes of software architecture,
- Software quality measurement methods
- Levels of testing.
- Testing techniques.
- Testing process.
- Basics of software quality.
- General principles of computer security.
- SCRUM
