The objective of this course is obtaining of fundamental and applicable knowledge in the field of software quality assurance (SQA), as well as enabling students to evaluate the quality of software products and processes.

Acquired knowledge during the course and active participation in the lectures, students will be able to use in solving professional problems, designing tasks and selecting software solutions for clear definition.

Introduction to the SQA field. Management of working result quality and processes in software engineering. Quality dimensions of program products. Requirements of existing quality systems and quality management. Requirements for managed processes. Requirements for type evaluation and quality processes improvement in designing software products. Life cycle of a software product. Essential characteristics of a software product: functionality, reliability, usability, effectiveness, easy to maintain and portability. Evaluation principles of a software product. Need for implementation and classification of quality standards. Standards for designing processes and quality management. Software process maturity models, e.g. CMMI. Comparison of the CMMI model with ISO family of standards.

The classes are realized in the form of lectures, permanent consultations and auditory and computer practical classes. During the course, students are required to finish up to 3 independent tasks within one seminar paper. All practical classes are held in specialized computer classrooms / laboratories.
