2. FOUNDATION
The subject presents an overview of the best practices and tools for testing software.
to the present, providing the student with solid knowledge regarding software testing, the
the same that are important for your training as an engineer, as it provides the necessary knowledge to
determine whether the software is ready to proceed or not, based on the test results
that were carried out.

3. SUMMARY
The subject is of a theoretical-practical nature and presents fundamental concepts and provides the skills
techniques through the application of tools to be used for the daily tasks of a test engineer
software. It deals with topics related to unit testing, functional testing, performance testing,
security testing and agile testing in different types of software according to their type of environment and/or device
where they operate: desktop, standalone, legacy, core, web, distributed, and mobile.

4. GENERAL LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT

Upon completing the course, the student designs test cases using appropriate technological tools.

of file, memory, and network management.
Software testing on mobile devices (2). Study of the protection structure of storage
data.
Applications of real cases.
FINAL EXAM.

6. METHODOLOGY
Individual and team work. Practical cases of the topics covered in class. The topics will be addressed with
practical team monographic works. Use of Multimedia and laboratories. The class sessions will be
complemented with support from digital resources uploaded on the virtual platform.

7. EVALUATION SYSTEM
The calculation of the final average will be done as follows:

(20%)PC1 + (20%)PC2 + (30%)PC3 + (30%)EXFI

Where:

PC3 QUALIFYING PRACTICE 3 15 graded practice 3

EXFI FINAL INDIVIDUAL EXAM 18 individual final exam

Guidelines on Evaluation Formulas:

The minimum passing grade is 12.

2. The student who does not take the final exam can take a single makeup exam. The grade obtained in
this makeup exam replaces the final exam not taken.
The student takes the make-up exam on the date scheduled by the University, after presentation
of request and payment of the fees for the postponed exam set forth in the current rate schedule and published
in Student Portal. The makeup exams are held at the end of the academic period and cover all
the topics covered in the subject.

3. In case a student does not take a graded practical exam (PC) and therefore receives NSP, this is
replaced by the grade obtained in the final exam. If you also have NSP in the final exam, this is
replaced by the grade obtained in the makeup exam. This grade replacement is automatic. It is not
it is necessary for the student to carry out any procedure for the replacement of the grade to take place. In case that
if the student has more than one unfulfilled graded practice, only the graded practice of
greater weight.

Only one Qualified Practice or the Final Exam can be deferred (not both).

The delayed exam includes the contents of the entire course.

6. No graded practice is removed.

7. In the case that a student does not complete a graded practical (GP) and therefore receives a NS, this is
replaced with the grade obtained in the final or makeup exam. In case the student
If you have more than one unsubmitted graded assignment, only the graded assignment with the highest weight will be replaced.

8. It is not necessary for the student to carry out any procedure for this replacement to take place.
