Specialize in Software Quality  from a technical and management perspective; graduate in 12 months, and make a difference in your professional environment"

The concept of Technical Debt currently being applied by a large number of corporations and administrations with their suppliers reflects the improvised way in which projects have been developed. Generating a new implicit cost by having to redo a project for having adopted a quick and easy solution as opposed to what should be a scalable approach in the evolution of the project. 

For some years now, projects have been developed very quickly, with the aim of closing them with the client based on price and deadline criteria, instead of focusing on quality. Now, those decisions are taking their toll on many suppliers and customers.

This professional master’s degree will enable the IT professional to analyze the underlying criteria in Software Quality, at all levels. Criteria such as database standardization, decoupling between components of an information system, scalable architectures, metrics, documentation, both functional and technical. In addition to methodologies in the management and development of projects and other methods to ensure quality, such as collaborative work techniques, including the so-called Pair Programming, which allows knowledge to reside in the company and not in people.

The vast majority of these types of Master's Degrees are focused on a technology, a language or a tool. This program is unique in the way it makes the professional aware of the importance of Software Quality, reducing the technical debt of projects with a quality one instead of an approach based on economics and short deadlines; it equips the student with specialized knowledge, so that project budgeting can be justified.

To make this possible, Software Quality has assembled a group of experts in the area that will transmit the most up-to-date knowledge and experience. Through a modern virtual campus with theoretical and practical content, distributed in different formats. There will be 10 modules divided into various units and subunits that will make it possible to learn in 12 months, following the Relearning methodology, which facilitates memorization and learning in an agile and efficient way.
