This class will be "seminar style". We will read research papers and discuss some of the difficult research problems in quality assurance for component-based and wireless-based Software . Students will be responsible for keeping up with the readings and there will be a major research project and/or paper. As with previous versions of this class, our goal will be to produce research that is "publishable quality". There will be no exam.CONTENT
READINGThere is a misconception about quality assurance. People think "QA = Testing". Actually, testing is only one type of quality assurance. In this class, we will cover topics on process-oriented and product oriented software quality assurance, software testing, software standard, software metrics etc. The theme of this course is QA issues for component-based and wireless-based software systems.
We will read various sources on the web, and transparencies that will be made available on the web site. The schedule for the readings are given on the schedule web page.REQUIRED COURSE TEXTS :
HONOR CODE STATEMENTTesting and Quality Assurance for Component-based Software,by Jerry Gao, Jacob Tsao and Ye Wu, Artech House Publishers, ISBN:1580534805
As with all GMU courses, SWE 699/IT 821 is governed by the GMU Honor Code. In this course, all assignments, exams, and project submissions carry with them an implicit statement that it is the sole work of the author, unless joint work is explicitly authorized. Help may be obtained from the instructor or other students to understand the description of the problem and any technology, but the solution, particularly the design portion, must be the student's own work. If joint work is authorized, all contributing students must be listed on the submission. Any deviation from this is considered an Honor Code violation, and as a minimum, will result in failure of the submission and as a maximum, failure of the class.
