FIT2107 Software quality and testing

When you finish this unit, you should be able to:

1. 1

   Identify appropriate quality goals for a moderately-sized software development project, select an appropriate quality assurance strategy to give confidence that these quality goals can be achieved, and document this strategy appropriately in the context of a software process model;

2. 2

   Apply quality assurance techniques such as modern code reviews to code development artifacts;

3. 3

   Perform systematic, automated unit testing on source code modules, using both specification-based and code-based approaches, utilising automated testing frameworks, including faking and mocking tools;

4. 4

   Perform integration and system testing on a moderately-sized software system, using continuous integration frameworks and tracing tests back to requirements;

5. 5

   Select appropriate tools to collect metrics, including test coverage, reliability, and design quality metrics, to analyse the quality of a software development project, and make recommendations based on the results;

6. 6

   Describe the major classes of formal methods used in software engineering, including model checking and theorem proving, and identify situations where their use is justified.
