Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to enable students to learn the fundamental concepts of software quality and assurance, apply quality assurance techniques in software development processes, and analyze and utilize methods to improve quality in software projects. In addition, students will gain the competence to identify risks in software processes by interpreting quality standards and to design and evaluate effective quality assurance plans.

Course Content:

Introduction to software quality and assurance; software quality metrics; create software quality assurance; configuration management; software validation and verification; review, audit and control; development models of software processes; software testing strategies and test techniques; Case studies on software process development and quality metrics

Course-Program Learning Outcome Relationship

Learning Outcomes	1	3	2
Program Outcomes
1) Sufficient knowledge in mathematics, science and engineering related to their branches; the ability to apply theoretical and practical knowledge in these areas to model and solve engineering problems.
2) The ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems; selecting and applying appropriate analysis and modeling methods for this purpose.
3) The ability to design a complex system, process, device or product under realistic constraints and conditions to meet specific requirements; the ability to apply modern design methods for this purpose. (Realistic constraints and conditions include such issues as economy, environmental issues, sustainability, manufacturability, ethics, health, safety, social and political issues, according to the nature of design.)
4) Ability to develop, select and use modern techniques and tools necessary for engineering applications; ability to use information technologies effectively.
5) Ability to design experiments, conduct experiments, collect data, analyze and interpret results for examination of engineering problems.
6) The ability to work effectively in disciplinary and multidisciplinary teams; individual work skill.
7) Effective communication skills in oral and written communication; at least one foreign language knowledge.
8) Awareness of the need for lifelong learning; access to knowledge, ability to follow developments in science and technology, and constant self-renewal.
9) Professional and ethical responsibility.
10) Information on project management and practices in business life such as risk management and change management; awareness about entrepreneurship, innovation and sustainable development.
11) Information on the effects of engineering applications on health, environment and safety in the universal and social dimensions and the problems of the times; awareness of the legal consequences of engineering solutions.
