Option A:
Review the quality assurance/testing situation in your company
or your former company,
and write a short essay to summarize the current/previous practice,
analyze its strength and weakness areas,
and discuss possible improvements based on overview of
QA activities we discussed in class so far and in Part I
(particularly Chapter 3 and some chapters in Part III) of our textbook.
Please focus on QA/testing activities,
not just general software process or management issues.
In addition, if you think this will be linked to your course project,
some preliminary ideas about should be discussed too.
(This is probably more appropriate for software professionals.
However, if you don't feel comfortable discussing the practices
at your company, you may choose the second option below.)
Option B:
If you do not have too much to report in the "practice" part,
or if you don't feel comfortable discussing the QA practice at
your current/former company due to whatever reason,
you can select a chapter from Ch.13-16, or related papers or book
chapters on similar topics as Ch.13-16,
and write a summary of the chapter/paper.
See the online list of related
books for additional reference.
(This is probably more appropriate for full-time students.
Please make sure it is your own summary, based on your understanding
of the subject after reading/studying, not something directly
from the original source you have just studied.)
