Contents
An important topic in software development is the quality of software. Typical quality criteria are correctness, robustness, changeability, reusability and user-friendliness of software. We take look at various techniques such as software metrics, development guidelines, refactoring, design patterns, and testing concepts, to examine and improve the software from a syntactic and semantic point of view.
Qualification Goals
Aim of the module:
- Overview of quality management procedures for software,
- Basic knowledge of quality assurance techniques presented,
- Knowledge of typical quality assurance tools,
- Practice of scientific working methods (recognition, formulation, solving problems, training of abstraction skills),
- Training of oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
