Abstract
QualiTeam is a web application to support the teaching-learning process on Software Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Testing introductory concepts. It has two main objectives: to facilitate the understanding of concepts learned in theory and to facilitate the monitoring of SW projects that students develop. The system gives the teacher control and the students a guide on the activities that must be carried out throughout a software project development. QualiTeam is a tool conceived to help in the challenge of providing students with concrete examples with which they can practice and clarify the topics taught in the classroom. With it, students can apply concepts that, in the initial training of a software engineer, are generally taught only at a theoretical level such as: review process, change requests, trouble reports, document version control and testing documentation management. QualiTeam is free and available online. It has been in operation for 5 years, through which improvements have been made until achieving a quite stable version.
Highlights
With the expansion of the use of computers throughout society and the consequent growth in the size of programs, Quality Assurance (QA), Quality Control (QC) and Testing have become fundamental aspects of Software (SW) development
Looking for the work that has been done regarding to teaching SW QA, QC and Testing, we found that Laporte et al [4] reported the use of lectures, practical exercises and group projects for the teaching of quality assurance
The training of students in the area of SW Quality Assurance leads to a challenge which is: providing students with concrete examples with which they can practice and clarify the topics taught in the classroom
Summary
With the expansion of the use of computers throughout society and the consequent growth in the size of programs, Quality Assurance (QA), Quality Control (QC) and Testing have become fundamental aspects of Software (SW) development. Looking for the work that has been done regarding to teaching SW QA, QC and Testing, we found that Laporte et al [4] reported the use of lectures, practical exercises and group projects for the teaching of quality assurance. They specify the standards on which they are based to teach each of the topics, they do not specify the way in which theoretical concepts are put into practice.
