• Abstract: In this paper, we share our lessons learned from more than a decade of teaching software quality aspects within Software Engineering (SE) courses, where the focus is on Agile/Scrum settings: final year software development projects and the course on SE Project Management. Based on the lessons learned, we also provide a number of recommendations on embedding quality assurance topics in the project-based learning with Agile/Scrum context.

  We investigate whether and how quality assurance approaches are being used in conjunction in the development of 1,454 popular open source software projects on GitHub. Our study indicates that typically projects do not follow all quality assurance practices together with high intensity. In general, our study provides a deeper understanding of how existing quality assurance approaches are currently being used in Java-based open source software development.
