This course will teach quantitative, technical, practical methods that software engineers and developers can use to test their software, both during and at the end of development. This course covers the topic quantitatively, with a solid basis in theory and with practical applications. The topic will be useful to strong programmers in the Computer Science program, as well as engineers, physical scientists, and mathematicians who regularly integrate software components as part of their work. The topic of this course is of interest to and accessible to students in a wide variety of specializations.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>When you are registered at the course you'll get access to Scio.
