Context-aware SQA e-learning system

In this paper, we propose an ontological design for developing a context-aware e-learning system that supports learners developing Software Quality Assurance (SQA) compliant software. The learning process is driven by the type of software product the learner is dealing with, as well as, its SQA requirements and corresponding SQA techniques and procedures. The paper shows a global ontology design to embed knowledge related to the learner, SQA domain in general, and product-based SQA requirement and procedures. Reasoning tools are provided to infer knowledge that can provide more-modular and just-in-time contextual SQA resources for the task in hand. A learning scenario is shown to illustrate the system's ability to deal with SQA requirements facing the learner in the software development process.
