460-4151/01 – Software Enginering III (SWI III)

The aim of the course is to teach students methods and techniques of software maintenance, configuration management, software testing and software quality assurance. Which includes: - Basics of software maintenance - Key challenges in software maintenance - The process of software maintenance - Maintenance Technician - Management of Configuration Management - Configuration Identification - Configuration Control - Configuration Status Accounting - Management of issue and delivery of software - Fundamentals of Software Testing. - Levels of testing. - Testing techniques. - Measurement and evaluation in software testing. - Test process. - Fundamentals of software quality. - The process of managing software quality. - Verification and validation.

The course deals with the problems of software maintenance and configuration management. Students will learn about the fundamental problems in software maintenance techniques that help address these problems, the maintenance process and its integration into the entire software development lifecycle. In addition, students will gain knowledge in the field of configuration management, without which the discipline of software maintenance can do. In this area, the subject deals mainly with the issues of identification and control configurations. Second part of course deals with software testing and quality assurance throughout the software development lifecycle. Students will learn about the various levels of testing and techniques that are used in these levels, the method of evaluating software quality and testing themselves. An integral part is also integrating these activities into the testing process, which is part of the entire software development lifecycle. In addition, students will learn about the process of ensuring software quality. This discipline is very closely linked and intensive use of software testing. The course will focus on the process of quality assurance and its integration into the software development lifecycle, verification and validation.
