Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 135 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Burger
Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Burger

Learning outcomes:
In times of large IT projects on the one hand and agile software development (with shorter and shorter release cycles) on the other, the importance of software quality assurance increases.
_ After successfully completing this course, students will be able to define the most important terms and concepts in software quality engineering and explain them using examples.
_ They will know and understand the various concepts of static and dynamic test techniques and be able to apply them to actual problems.
_ Students will be able to differentiate between different types of tests and know how they are used in different test stages and how to integrate them into the test process.
_ Students will become familiar with the different requirements for quality assurance in classic and agile development models and how these can be met.
_ Students will understand how to use tools for support in different scenarios and types of tests (test organization, test automation, load and performance tests, etc.)
