“…Both, supporting tools and adaptation of agile techniques, have been explored in capstone courses and projects. Rodriguez et al [29] propose a virtual Scrum tool that simulates a Scrum-based team room by means of the 3D virtual world metaphor. The tool can support specific configuration and progress of each student team [29].…”

Skills demanded by the IT industry from graduates should be aligned with the curricula of Computer Science undergraduate programs. It is well-known that theoretical knowledge undergraduate students acquire during their studies needs to be complemented with practical experience; therefore, participating in university supported real life projects is a viable option for the students to get prepared for the industry. This paper reports findings from a survey applied to students who had been involved in an industry-based program meant to fulfill their graduation requirements, including the opportunity to develop a capstone project. We gathered their perceptions regarding what they learned during their studies, what they acquired in the industrybased program and what they consider useful for their current jobs. The results show that most topics are aligned between the Bachelor's degree program and the industry needs, but there is a strong separation in the cognitive levels students achieve at each stage. The paper provides insight into the needs of Computer Science students and contributes to finding ways of increasing undergraduate student satisfaction with skills acquired at university and their application in real contexts.

“…The increased deployment of agile approaches (such as scrum methodology) in software development industry has led to the inclusion of agile software development practices in software Engineering curricula at undergraduate level. To boost computer science students' exposure to scrum, Rodriguez et al [13] proposed Virtual Scrum, which is also known as an ''educational virtual world'' and simulates a scrum-based team room using various virtual elements such as web browser, charts, calendars, blackboards and document viewers. To emphasize the significance of adopting scrum as an agile project management method, von Wangenheim et al [14] developed a paper and pencil game to educate students of undergraduate degree programmes about the benefits and merits of using scrum.…”

Incorporating quality control activities in scrum in relation to the concept of test backlog

Scrum has become popular among the agile methodologies due to the substantial support that it provides to the project management teams. The scrum process delivers quick functionality in the form of sprints. Most of the quality assurance and quality control activities are skipped in scrum because of its short lifecycle and due to the absence of a dedicated quality assurance team. The development team pays more attention to delivery of products according to the customer satisfaction, and the parameters used for this type of assessment are the story success criteria and user acceptance testing. Only acceptance testing and integration testing are not sufficient to achieve a quality product. There is still a clamouring need felt to incorporate other quality control activities in scrum to achieve a quality product. In this work, we have made an attempt to implement the quality control activities in the scrum philosophy by introducing the concept of test backlog. The enhanced scrum model provides quality assessment methodology on the basis of frequency of remaining functional bugs. The concept of test backlog proposed in this study aims at implementing state of the art testing process in scrum. A case study was carried out to validate the model, which produced satisfactory results. Besides, we conducted a survey to access the state of the quality control in scrum. The proposed model and case study results are reported herein.

Esse trabalho apresenta um relato de experiência referente a um trabalho aplicado como Atividade Prática Supervisionada, em uma disciplina de Processo de Desenvolvimento de Software, ofertada em um curso de graduação em Engenharia de Software. Nessa atividade os alunos foram divididos em grupos, sendo que cada grupo, em diferentes momentos representou os papéis de adquirente e fornecedor de um software (tal como é definido na norma ISO/IEC 12207:2008), sendo obrigatória a interação entre diferentes grupos. Durante o desenvolvimento da atividade os grupos tiveram que seguir alguns dos requisitos do MPS.BR, reforçando assim conceitos de qualidade de processo de software aprendidos em aula. Destaca-se que de acordo com a opinião dos alunos (obtida por meio de um questionário), esse trabalho contribuiu para aquisição e fixação dos conhecimentos da disciplina, assim como para mantê-los motivados durante seu desenvolvimento.
