SS 2013: Seminar Software Quality

The seminar on Software Quality in summer semester 2013 will be based on Jeff Tian's book "Software Quality Engineering".  The seminar is open to all Bachelor students in computer science (including "Medieninformatik" and "Wirtschaftsinformatik") and E-Commerce. Each talk will address one chapter of the book. The book is available in the library. In addition to Tian's book, students are expected to seek additional sources on their own. Each student will give a talk of 45-60 minutes. The talk will be followed by a discussion. In addition to the talk and the discussion, students will be required to hand in a term paper. Both the talk, the discussion and the term paper will be in English. Term papers are to be published on this website.

Please have a look at my slides from last semester for more information on the seminar in general. These slides give some general hints on how to prepare a good presentation.

A total of 11 talks are available, based on the following chapters of Tian's book:
