Be sure to bring some program code or product/feature specs to every class for in-class working/discussion sessions.
Feedback to your project proposals was sent to you via e-mail by 4/29/08. Unless I specifically stated, you do not need to resubmit a revised proposal. Just pay attention to my comments and address them in your final project report/presentation. Be sure to be specific with your (model-based, systematic, formal) testing techniques, justify your choices, and pay attention to results analysis.

Hw#4: Due 5/14/08 before midnight.
(Try to submit it to me early to get early feedback.)
Hw#3: Due 4/30/08 before midnight.
Hw#2: Due 4/14/08 before midnight.
Hw# feedback sent by 4/16/08, and followed by a sample solution for the boundary testing problem by your fellow student Reyad Abubaker.
(I originally said that I'll post it, but decided to send it only to those who made a mistake on this question.)
Hw#1: Due 4/2/08 before midnight.
Think about your project ideas for brief oral discussion in class on 4/5/08.
Course project information, with three stages of deliverables: ideas/proposal, presentation, report.

Syllabus (including a tentative schedule).
Information/material at my book website for Software Quality Engineering, including slides for all the chapters.

No hardcopy of the online homework assignments and other course material will be sent to you unless specifically requested (by contacting Debra).
Electronic submission of homework/project-related material are accepted in the following forms:
- Plain text files.
- Microsoft Word documents.
- Postscript or PDF files.
- HTML or other web-based documents.
Be sure to include your name, preferably on every page.
These submissions will not be individually acknowledged. But you can check with me if you suspect delivery problems.
