Nowadays, we heavily depend on software, as we utilize it daily. Bugs in the software can cause significant damage, loss of private data and money, and even loss of human lives. Software testing and quality assurance discipline, which belongs to the software engineering domain, aims to ensure that the software is good enough before its release to the market. Therefore, it is vital to ensure that software engineers are highly trained in this domain. Unfortunately, this discipline is frequently neglected throughout software engineering courses. Students are mostly taught just the theoretical principles of software testing and gain little practical experience. Additionally, the software testing lectures are considered to be dull, especially if they are not followed by practical tasks where the students could apply learned techniques and gain hands‐on experience. Several tools, games, and collaborative learning environments have been proposed to make the lectures more interesting and increase student engagement. The main goal of this article is to provide a systematic survey of such environments, where each environment was evaluated in terms of major software testing topics covered and the approach used to engage the students.

System-based learning (SBL) in engineering domains integrates systems thinking and engineering principles to develop a system. In software engineering, to develop software using the DevOps process, using SBL environment, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the DevOps software development process and apply theoretical concepts to real-world problems by implementing a complete system pipeline, encompassing the design, development, testing, and deployment of software systems. This article introduces an SBL approach to teaching DevOps engineering, addressing the limitations of traditional methods in equipping students with the necessary skills and knowledge. To evaluate the effectiveness of the SBL approach, a case study was conducted to teach a DevOps course within an undergraduate software engineering program. Students completed a project involving the implementation of a system pipeline from requirement gathering to deployment. Results from the case study demonstrate that the SBL approach has improved students’ understanding of DevOps engineering and the software development big picture. The approach enhanced students’ systems thinking and problem-solving capabilities and prepared students for the challenges of a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
