Title
Testing
Learning Outcome
Understand the basic concepts and approaches used by software engineers to test software, and use testing frameworks to write automated unit tests and assess coverage. This commitment to verification is character building, as it requires students to prioritize technical integrity and honesty over convenience.
Title
Analysis
Learning Outcome
Use static analysis, code profiling, and performance tools to identify and correct potential problems and bottlenecks. This rigorous evaluation is intellectually enlarging, teaching students to look deeply into the efficiency and health of their systems.
Title
Refinement and Excellence
Learning Outcome
Apply testing and analysis results to iteratively improve software quality. This process of constant refinement is spiritually strengthening, as students learn the value of persistence and the satisfaction found in striving for professional excellence.
