Software Quality

In this seminar, we explore the many aspects of software quality. We focus not only on source code quality, but also extend our analysis to software testing and architectural decisions. Our goal is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to high quality software.

To ensure personalized guidance and support, each student is assigned a dedicated supervisor who will provide assistance throughout the seminar. Our seminar emphasizes hands-on experience, with each topic including a practical component. Through real-world scenarios, students can experiment and apply their knowledge, exploring different techniques and methodologies. This approach promotes a deeper understanding of software quality.
