Software Quality Assurance

This course is intended to give students a theoretical and a practical understanding of Quality Assurance in the context of Software Development and Engineering.  Students should be comfortable being asked to install and use an integrated development environment for homework assignments but this is otherwise intended as an introductory course to the tools and concepts presented.  Structured into three sections, the course will first present concepts and theory, progress through a practical introduction to modern best practices leveraging Selenium IDE, and conclude with a high-level introduction to automation and other tools that students may encounter in a professional context.  By the end of the course, students should feel confident applying to entry-level positions in both agile and waterfall organizations and will have a solid foundation for more advanced studies in this area.
