SE 576 Software Reliability and Testing 3.0 Credits
This course provides in-depth coverage of testing and other software validation techniques intended to produce reliable, correct software. Topics include formal and informal specification, core testing techniques, approaches to comparing quality of test suites, principles of reasoning about software correctness, guided automatic test generation, designing software to support validation, and using current and future tools to automatically validate or find bugs in software. The course strikes a balance between teaching principles of reasoning about programs, techniques in current use, and providing a basis for understanding cutting-edge techniques still in early stages of adoption.
