Goals
The Summer School on Applied Software Process Management and Testing is intended for young researchers (including PhD students and last year Master students) who want to get a solid knowledge doubled by hands-on experience regarding approaches to understanding, analyzing and effectively managing the software development process. The school is focused on practical experience doubled by theory as a solid foundation.
Thus, all the lectures are followed by labs where participants can apply the concepts presented. The limited number of participants and the small size of the lab groups favors extensive interaction between the participants and the speakers.
