DATE OF IMPLEMENTATION: Second Year Second semester, 2019-2020
PRE-REQUISTE:
CO-REQUISITE:
SETTING: CLASSROOM

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Quality Processes concepts include the collection of tools, procedures, methodologies, and accumulated knowledge about the development and maintenance of
software-based systems. This course is strongly suggested for any student planning to take an internship in Computer Science. After an overview of the phases of the
software lifecycle, current methodologies, tools, and techniques being applied to each phase will be discussed in depth with localized exercises given to reinforce
learning of concepts. It will also focus on system design, development, maintainability, testing, and documentation. Emphasis is on concepts and practices that reduce
software cost and increase reliability and modifiability.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the course, students are expected to:

 Understand how to detect, classify, prevent and remove defects

 Understand how to conduct formal inspections, record and evaluate results of inspections
 Know how to choose which metrics to collect and use them to make predictions
 Choose appropriate testing strategies and develop test cases
 Be able to use Z to formally specify a system and write proofs for algorithms.
