SIT/SE3 - Advanced Software Quality Management
ECTS-Credits: 6.0
Summary: This module covers the areas advanced software testing, which provides methods
for eciently testing large software systems, and software quality management,
which provides concepts for managing the quality of software processes. As a background
students require a solid basic knowledge in formal modeling, software engineering, and
software quality assurance. The module consists of a lecture and workshop on software
testing, which provides the theoretical concepts and application methods for eciently
testing large software systems, and a lecture and workshop on software quality management,
which provides concepts for managing the quality of software processes. After
completing this module students will have a stronger knowledge to test complex software
systems and manage the quality of software processes and organizations in scientic
and/or industrial contexts.
