The student must be able to design and carry out systematic testing for large systems, including the establishment of automated testing. The student must also master concepts and techniques for the design and construction of testable systems.

    Knowledge

    The student must have knowledge of:
    •Significant test strategies and models and their role in system development
    •Testing as an integral part of a development project
    •Various types of testing and their applications.

    Skills

    The student can:
    •Ensure traceability between system requirements and testing at all levels
    •Apply both black-box and white-box testing techniques
    •Apply various criteria for the degree of test coverage
    •Use techniques for verification and validation
    •Use techniques and tools for automated testing
    •Build systems to manage testing and the fault rectification process in development projects.

    Competences

    The student can:
    •Define, plan and carry out testing in a development project that matches the project’s quality requirements
    •Plan and manage the implementation of internal and external testing of software systems.
    •Design testable systems

  • Type of instruction
    Teaching in Software development is a dynamic, interactive process that focuses on active student participation. Teaching is based on relevant business practices and relates practice to theory. Issues from various types of business in the IT industry will be drawn upon. Students take responsibility for their own learning, and together with the teachers, they contribute constructively to the learning process.

    Various teaching methods are employed to ensure optimum professional learning and personal development. The emphasis is on dialogues, discussions and project work.

    The teaching is organised as a variation between class teaching, guest lecturing, company visits, group project work and individual work. The learning is most often problem-based and cross-disciplinary and always practise-oriented. In addition to learning the subject, the student will gain the competences to work individually and in collaboration with others.

    The common aim of the activities is always to set clear intended learning objectives.
