Iterative and incremental process models like spiral advocatethe continuous identification of the items likely to compromise the project’s success and theearly resolution of those top-ranked risk items. Although the concepts and principles, such as riskexposure and project top-10 risk-item monitoring, are commonly taught in undergraduatesoftware engineering courses, little is known about how students, especially those working inagile software teams

Engineering riley@msoe.eduAbstractThe development of Software Product Lines (SPL) hold promise to improve the efficiency ofwriting and maintaining large software projects, but SPL engineering can be difficult to teach in asoftware engineering classroom for many reasons. The development of a non-trivial SPL typicallytakes longer than the time available in a typical semester, student interest in SPL engineering israrely inherent, and learning outcomes from different approaches to SPL engineering are notalways consistent or aligned with traditional software engineering learning goals. Further,applying SPL methods in an agile development environment can be challenging because agilemethods typically prioritize features and bug

the undergraduate level. Through the years, there have been several projects aimedat creating case study modules for teaching. Most recently, the Software Development CaseStudy [8] project developed a set of case studies that can be used across the software engineeringcurriculum based upon the digital home. However, while testing materials were part of theproject, the materials were not focused specifically on verification and validation.A later NSF project, Collaborative Education: Building a Skilled Software Verification andValidation User Community [9], focused on developing active learning exercises for softwareengineering. This paper provides initial feedback on the usage of one such activity in a softwareengineering program.About the

should be applied (e.g. DAST, SAST, IAST).  New hires need to understand technical capabilities to so that they understand why we care and how we prevent the vulnerabilities/threat associated with it.  It is surprising that even seasoned software and application developers don’t understand the basics of vulnerabilities, false positives and how to clean their code. This is a serious problem. 12. What security touchpoints does your company use to ensure security in developed products?  Proper project management and security milestones in the SDLC is very important. Best practices and industry standards are available however most developers don’t know they should have the proper tools to scan their own code for vulnerabilities and make
