Learning outcomes |
This unit aims to provide methodological concepts related with software quality. The main goals are as follows:
- to present aspects related with requirements management and its application on the software testing
- to present quality oriented processes
- to present an exhaustive practical cases, and scenarios on software quality methodologies
It is expected that students may be able to:
O1) design software processes focused with the product quality in mind
O2) understand the relevance, significance, and limitation of software testing
O3) design test cases for testing purposes without knowing the internal structure of code or program.
O4) design test cases for testing purposes bases on the internal structure of code or program.
