Data-Driven Software Engineering, 7,5 credits

The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge and skills in using data as a basis for decision-making and improvement in software development processes. The course covers how data can be collected, analysed, and used to guide the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software systems. Furthermore, the course aims to develop the student’s ability to apply methods and tools for data-driven analysis in practical development contexts. The course also provides an understanding of how data-driven approaches influence quality, productivity, and decision-making in software development. Finally, the course aims to prepare students to work in modern development environments where data plays a central role in the work of a software engineer.
