Schedule

Lecture slides can be downloaded from the Resources page. The order or delivery date of lectures on this page may change during the semester.

Recordings of the lectures will be available through LMS although personal attendance at lectures and workshops is recommended. Please note that recordings sometimes fail.

Note that materials presented during class sessions do not define the whole unit. Attending class sessions and reviewing the material covered comprises about one-third of the effort required for this unit. The remainder of your time should be spent reading the recommended reading, and attempting exercises and assignment tasks.

The schedule below gives recommended readings for each topic: either chapters from the recommended texts, or extracts. Your understanding of the lecture and workshop material will be greatly enhanced if you work through these readings prior to attending. References to “Ammann & Offutt” are to Ammann, P., & Offutt, J., Introduction to software testing, 2nd edn (Cambridge University Press, 2016). References to “Pressman” are to Pressman, R.S., & Maxim, B.R., Software engineering: A practitioner’s approach, 8th edn (McGraw-Hill, 2015), but earlier and later editions should have equivalent sections. The readings may be added to or modified as the semester progresses.

The UWA library has copies of all the recommended textbooks (some online). You can access the library's holdings of the recommended texts via the Unit Readings site here.

Extracts referred to are likewise available via the Unit Readings site, here.
