Research and practice on education of SQA at source code level

The exponential increasing in software size and complexity is miring testers with endless testing work and assuring software quality becomes more difficult. A pedagogical model was proposed for SQA at source code level, in which coding standards and code optimization were determined as two quality buses while code review traversed almost the entire software development process. In order to consolidate this model, some topics were researched such as evaluation index system of coding standards, evaluating website of coding standards, process improvement and behavior analysis of peer code review, and so on. The model was developed over four academic years of practice; it is possible for students to eliminate defects in their programs at source code level.
