Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The aim of this course is to introduce students to fundamental quality assurance and testing principles in order to enhance the quality of software development processes and ensure the reliability of software products. By applying quality assurance and testing techniques in various stages of the software life cycle, students will learn to evaluate the software's compliance with requirements, its performance, reliability, and usability. Additionally, through real-world scenario-based applications, they will develop skills such as debugging, automation, and test planning, thereby gaining the ability to contribute to the successful delivery of software projects.

Course Content:

This course covers the fundamentals of software quality assurance, software test life cycles, software testing techniques, static tests, unit tests (and refactoring), integration tests, database tests, user acceptance tests, support tools for testing, mocks, and test sensitivity. Additionally, the course content also includes topics related to test management.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Understanding software quality assurance and testing principles in software engineering applications.
2) Selecting and applying appropriate software quality assurance methodologies and software testing tools to meet user requirements.
3) Planning, designing, and establishing software testing environments to ensure software quality in alignment with software test life cycles.
4) Defining the subcomponents required in the testing processes and comprehend their roles.
5) Enhancing software quality by evaluating and analyzing software testing results, understanding industry requirements and standards effectively.
