Abstract

In this paper we use some common terminology from the computing field to help explain several concepts in the ABET accreditation process that appear to be rather widely misunderstood in the educational computing community. We show how the familiar terms "software quality metric," "software process metric," "quality assurance," and the "test-debug cycle" are used to help explain and clarify several fundamental ABET accreditation activities.
