TDDE46 Software Quality

Syllabus


Teaching and working methods

Theory is given through lectures. Laboratory work on tools.

Students are organized into groups, each with responsibility for evaluating and improving quality and quality work with an ongoing student project in the lower years. The group will interact throughout the semester with students from lower years. In a number of seminars the groups share experience and make action plans. Theoretical knowledge is demonstrated by the students in the seminars. The mission can be likened to a consultancy work and ends with a report that participants in the lower year may have as a basis for their bachelor works. Each report contain a common part and an individual investigation.
