Teaching

Dependable Software Systems CS 576 [Summer 2006] [Summer 2007]
Course Description:
Software Testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and represents the ultimate review of a system's source code with the intent of discovering bugs.
Course topics include:
formal specification; black box testing; syntax testing; control-flow testing; data-flow testing; GUI and Web testing; mutation testing; object-oriented protocol testing; software engineering for reliability; program slicing; fault injection and program perturbation; syntax testing; testing within the software development process; test execution automation and test design automation tools.
