Course Syllabus
Obiettivi
Il corso approfondisce le conoscenze necessarie per comprendere a fondo principi, tecniche e organizzazione del processo di qualità, elementi di base della formazione di test designer, quality manager e project manager.
Al termine del corso, lo studente sarà in grado di definire e implementare un piano di qualità per progetti software complessi e avrà le conoscenze che caratterizzano un buon quality e project manager.
Dopo il corso lo studente sarà in grado di definire, controllare ed eseguire un piano di qualità per progetti software complessi

Modalità didattica
blended eLearning: lezioni in aula, studio individuale, esercizi e questionari online, corretti dal docente e discussi in aula.
Il corso è offerto in lingua inglese.
Nel periodo di emergenza Covid-19 le lezioni previste in presenza si svolgeranno in modalità mista: parziale presenza, ed eventi in videoconferenza sincrona.
Materiale didattico
materiale disponibile sulla piattaforma online:
- libro: Mauro Pezzè and Michal Young, Software Testing and Analysis, process, principle and techniques, John Wiley 2007
- articoli
- slide
- esercizi
- questionari
Periodo di erogazione dell'insegnamento
secondo semestre
Modalità di verifica del profitto e valutazione
Esercizi e questionari concorrono con lo stesso peso alla determinazione del voto finale, la prova orale è volta a confermare il voto ottenuto con esercizi e questionari.
Nel periodo di emergenza Covid-19 gli esami orali saranno solo telematici. Verranno svolti utilizzando la piattaforma WebEx e nella pagina e-learning dell'insegnamento verrà riportato un link pubblico per l'accesso all'esame di possibili spettatori virtuali.
Orario di ricevimento
su appuntamento
Aims
The course provides the knowledge necessary to understand principles, techniques and quality process, the basis for test designers, quality managers and project managers.
At the end of the course, the students will be able to define and implement a quality plan for complex software systems.
