International Standards on Software Quality and Test

Course Objectives

The objective of this course is to provide students with the knowledge of ISO and IEEE  quality standards  used in software development organizations.

​

Learning Outcomes

The student learns requirements of the following aspects to determine the quality of a software application: Quality model, external metrics, internal metrics, quality in use metrics.

The student can develop software compatible with international standards which presents some set of quality attributes such as functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability, portability.
