Program Overview
The Software Quality Fundamentals Certificate is designed to prepare professionals and current students to assess quality in developed software solutions.
This platform- and technology-agnostic certificate includes three courses that explore the use of common web technologies for interface design and cover the basics of usability and accessibility in modern user interfaces. You will then learn to verify and validate the quality of software using testing techniques, security assessment, risk analysis and the critical analysis of perspective.
Attend classes part time at our Madison Truax campus.
