Presentation Transcript

  1. CS598TX: Advanced Topics in Software Engineering-- Software Testing, Debugging, Analysis, Analytics –Course Logistics Tao Xie

  2. Course Overview • Graduate seminar on software testing, debugging, analysis and analytics (for improving software dependability) • Focus on research methodologies around conducting your (research) project • Papers/reading: reading in advance, writing forum post (bookkeeping in Google sheet), discussing (leading discussion) • Project: milestone project presentations, paper

  3. Administrative Info • Meetings: T/Th 12:30-1:45pm, 1131 SC • Credit: 4 graduate hours • Auditors welcome for discussions • Can come to any lecture, mostly self-contained • Prerequisites: some software engineering and programming languages

  4. Evaluation • Grading • Final Project Report [40%] • Milestone Project Presentations + Leading In-Class Discussion [30%] • Forum Participation [15%] • In-class Participation/Discussion [15%] • Distribution • Grades typically will be A- centered • No guarantee for A (or even a passing grade)! • Project is the most important

  5. Fair Warnings • This class will differ from most you take • Seminar style • Centered around (research) projects • Even differ from CS527 • CS527 focuses on others’ papers • CS598TX focuses on your papers • Projects are NOT easy • Require that you explore a topic in great depth • The topic can/should be fairly narrow • Unlike CS527, the instructor won’t give you a project idea candidate

  6. Repeated Warning • Project matters the MOST • If you like open-ended projects and have some initial ideas/directions for your course project, do take this course • If you don’t like open-ended projects or don’t have initial project ideas, please drop this course now • If you’re unsure, please discuss with me • The worst scenario: take the course but realize you don’t like projects or you don’t have a project • This course won’t directly instruct knowledge on the course topics (focus on skills instead)
