Grading will be relative to the class. Notice the significant emphasis on team work. Attempt will be made to create interdisciplinary teams where computer science and engineering majors will work together.

There will be three sets of presentations starting in the third week into the semester. Each team will work on a commercially or instructor sponsored project in the area of software testing. Focus areas includ (and are not limited to): security testing, testing embedded heart control devices, testing audio equipment software, database testing, random testing, stress testing.

Presentations will focus on progress in the term project. All presentations are expected to be in-depth. Demosntration might also be a part of some presentations. Attempts will be made to invite sponsors to the class (perhaps via vieo conferencing) during the presentations.
