-====== CSE 4481 4.0 - Computer Security Laboratory  ======
+====== Software Engineering Testing CSE 4313 Winter 2014 ======
-===== Description  =====
+===== Announcement  =====
-This course provides a thorough understanding of the technical aspects of computer security. It covers network, operating system, and application software security. Computer laboratory projects provide exposure to various tools in a hands-on setting.
+**
+Instructor evaluations will take place  at the beginning of lecture on Wed, March 19.
+**
-Access Control - Identification, authentication, and authorization.
+===== Description  =====
-Network Security - attacks, intrusion detection, auditing, firewalls, packet monitoring and other tools/techniques for finding network security related problems.
+The course introduces systematic methods of testing and verifying various types of software systems covering a range of static and dynamic techniques and their use within the development process. All too often software is designed and then tested. The real aim must be to take a more holistic view, where design is carried out with verification in mind to achieve overall project goals.
-Operating System Security - threats, vulnerability scanning, password cracking, accounts and privileges
+Upon successful completion of the course you should be able to do the following:
-Application Software Security - design of secure systems, Java security, buffer overflows, database security, client-side and server-side securities, tamper resistant software, finding vulnerabilities.
+  * Understand the importance of testing.
+  * Understand the strengths and weaknesses of the techniques discussed in the course
+  * Be able to select appropropriate techniques for a given situation.
+  * Be able to produce test harnesses for large software systems.
+  * Be able to produce quality reports.
