Seminar: Software Quality

Module No: IN0014, IN2107 (Bachelor's, Master's)

Software Quality

Software with high quality is an overarching goal of software evolution. However, what constitutes software quality in concrete terms, and above all how it is determined and achieved, is a ongoing challenge. This seminar is dedicated to this topic.

This year we want to put special emphasis on not only considering the quality of source code. Requirements and tests are integral parts of software and its quality as well. In the seminar we will cover techniques for evaluating and improving the quality of requirements, tests, source code and processes. We want to learn the techniques not only in theory but also try them out on practical examples.
