Preliminary Evaluation of a Software Security Learning Environment

Abstract

The importance of software security technologies is increasingly recognized with the increase in services available on the Internet. It is also important to foster human resources with knowledge and skills relevant to software security technologies. This article aims to construct a software security learning environment. It proposes a learning process for software security and constructed a learning environment that supported the learning process. This article describes a preliminary experiment to evaluate the learning process and the learning environment. It confirms usefulness of the learning process. It also identifies some improvements for the knowledge base system and learning environment, such as visualization support and traceability support.
