Hi Arran, it might be too early to ask, but are we still going to cover Lecture 7c, quality assurance? Thank you.

Hi,

The material on formal methods is more important, so I didn't cover Lecture 7c in this week's lecture, and won't be covering it next week.

Static analysis (which overlaps somewhat with formal methods) and "lightweight" formal methods are reasonably common, and important areas to know about. Writing up formal Software Quality Assurance Plans, which is the main topic of Lecture 7c, is a good deal less common; many organisations today either adopt some form of agile methodology (and don't write up formal SQA plans at all), and/or address quality assurance in other ways.

I recommend reading through the slides for Lecture 7c, and if we have time, I'll cover it in week 11 or 12.

I hope that helps - let me know if you have any queries.

Cheers,

Arran
