Track: Software Quality Education and Training in Academia and Industry

ABOUT

Currently, the nature of software is changing and so is its quality. Wth the advent of new technologies, different types of software applications (mobile applications, ubiquitous, embedded, for IoT, smart applications, and so on) have emerged and supported the different activities of daily life. To make those applications accepted and really useful, we have to guarantee their quality. To that end, the quality community has sought to integrate training on techniques, methods, and methods in the undergraduate and graduate course curricula (sometimes integrated dispersed in several disciplines) and sought to bring specific interest training to the industry (for example, to obtain quality certifications for specific models/standards, training in testing and others).

This track is looking for contributions on:

  • Experience papers on software quality education presenting original reports on how software quality has been integrated into undergraduate and graduate programs.

  • Experience papers on software quality education presenting original reports on how software quality subjects have been transferred to the industry

  • Research papers describing original and scientifically rigorous contributions concerning to challenges, innovations, and best practices in software quality education and training in academia and industry.

TOPICS

We are open to a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to):

  • new and innovative best practices for software quality education and training;

  • innovative curriculum or course formats;

  • software quality education to the masses (i.e., MOOCs);

  • teaching software quality in non-traditional contexts such as mobile and web applications, ubiquitous and IoT applications, low-code and no-code development in academia and industry;

  • emerging educational settings for software quality such as online learning;

  • cooperation in software quality education between industry and academia;

  • methodological aspects of software quality education;

  • use of machine learning approaches for collecting data to assure the software quality in academia and industry;

  • teaching of processes, methods, techniques, and tools for software quality and testing;

  • problem-based/project based teaching/learning in software quality.
