| - | ===== Course Objectives ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP box round 95% center> | ||
| - | The course intends to provide to the students the basic knowledge and competences for testing complex software systems. The following topics will be covered: | ||
| - | * Software Testing generalities | ||
| - | * Software Testing phases | ||
| - | * Test derivation strategies | ||
| - | * Test adequacy assessment | ||
| - | The various conceptual aspects will be illustrated using examples and competences will be assessed with a course project that will require the usage of professional tools. | ||

| - | **Exam rules**: | ||
| - | |||
| - | The exam consist of three papers: | ||
| - | * 1st. The student should perform a <wrap em> short survey presentation</wrap>. One or two scientific papers will be assigned to each student. A short survey on the topic will be performed, and a presentation will be given by the student in one of the last lessons. | ||
| - | * 2nd. A <wrap em>Small Software Project</wrap> should be realized by students (it is possible to work in groups of 2) that will have to choose an open source software system (or possibly one made by them), and provide a complete test plan with artifacts. A short report have to be delivered before the oral paper. Alternatively students can decide to perform a <wrap em> written paper</wrap> on the date fixed for the exam as reported on the students carreer system (ESSE3). | ||
| - | * 3rd. Finally the exam foresees an <wrap em>oral paper</wrap> that can be performed after having passed the previous two papers. The date will be communicated by the teacher. | ||
| - | |||
| - | For each paper the student gets a mark in the range 6 and 12. The final mark results from the sum of the marks the student gets on each paper. | ||
