Software Development Tutorial Ideas

The following is a list of ideas for tutorials for the software development tutorial section.

Setting Up a Project

• Choosing a language for your project
  
• Choosing an online Host for your project (perhaps a review of various hosts: Google, Sourceforge etc.)
  
• Source Control strategies
  
• Bug Tracking strategies
  
• Build Systems/Strategies
  
• Online Collaboration strategies
  
• Choosing a Distribution License

Project Management

• Basics of Project Management
  
• Gantt charts
  
• UML
  
• Software Development Methodologies

QA Strategies

• Unit Testing
  
• Load Testing
  
• Regression Testing
  
• Integration Testing
  
• How to Conduct a Code Review

Design Patterns

• Why and how they are used

Design Analysis

• Functional Decomposition
  
• Object Oriented Analysis

Debugging Techniques

• How to design an exception framework
  
• How to implement Logging/best practices

Please help me flesh out this list by suggesting other sections and topics that would like to see tutorials written for or you feel would be beneficial to others.

QA Strategies

* Unit Testing
* Load Testing
* Regression Testing
* Integration Testing
* How to Conduct a Code Review

Functional testing, smoke tests, concurrency testing, usability testing.

Also, a section on debugging techniques might be warranted. However, I only know this from the perspective of C# currently.

correct me if I am wrong but don't we have:

Function Testing covered by unit testing?
concurrency testing covered by load testing?


I have no idea what smoke tests are, and usability testing I am not sure that fits into software development proper...

All these are very important for software development and if you use it technically it will really help.

any news on these tutorials happening?

You're more then welcome to write one and then we can cross it off the list.

Nowhere near skilled enough, was hoping these were made so I can use them that's all.

So, is this still in the pipeline, by that I mean, can we, if we want, still submit a tutorial. I remember smoke testing from my Advanced Software Development studies earlier this year. Perhaps its something new, maybe that's why you haven't heard of it, I don't know. When submitting this tutorial, are we allowed to quote from text books we used?

Oh, nevermind, found it.

Can any one explain different types of software testing?
