Learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students are familiar with modern software engineering methods and have gained a basic understanding of security topics. They know the basics of process models in software projects (e.g. agile methods) and can describe them comparatively. Students will be able to implement requirements specifications and know quality assurance methods (e.g. metrics, reviews) and will be able to assess the quality of their own software. The students know methods of testing software and are able to apply these methods and have demonstrated by means of a project from the field of embedded systems that they are able to successfully apply said methods. Students will be able to describe the different aspects of reliability and functional safety, identify vulnerabilities in functional safety and implement countermeasures, apply methods of reliability analysis and calculation. Students know security requirements, can formulate them and can name the necessary methods for implementation, can classify threats, define and realize protection goals.
