“…There does not appear to be one "right" place in the undergraduate experience to place this kind of learning. This conclusion echoes current recommendations for undergraduate software engineering training [Bagert et al, 1999]: software testing is a crosscutting or recurring area that must be visited multiple times with increasing levels of depth and maturity throughout the curriculum.…”

Students need to learn more software testing skills. This paper presents an approach to teaching software testing in a way that will encourage students to practice testing skills in many classes and give them concrete feedback on their testing performance, without requiring a new course, any new faculty resources, or a significant number of lecture hours in each course where testing will be practiced. The strategy is to give students basic exposure to test-driven development, and then provide an automated tool that will assess student submissions on-demand and provide feedback for improvement. This approach has been demonstrated in an undergraduate programming languages course using a prototype tool. The results have been positive, with students expressing appreciation for the practical benefits of test-driven development on programming assignments. Experimental analysis of student programs shows a 28% reduction in defects per thousand lines of code.

“…Despite the importance of software testing, testing skills are often elusive in undergraduate curricula [Bourque et al, 2001;Bagert et al, 1999]. This may be because test ing pervades all aspects of software development and seems poorly suited as the sole topic for a new course.…”

Empirical Methods and Studies in Software Engineering

Abstract.A number of empirical studies using students as subjects has been carried out in the last few years. These studies are usually conducted as pilot experiments that allow researchers to fine-tune an experiment before deploying it in an industrial environment. Though one of the issues usually taken into account with these experiments is their external validity, other issues need to be considered, such as the usefulness of these experiments in the context of a software engineering course. This chapter concisely reports on three empirical studies performed at the Università degli Studi dell'Insubria during the ESERNET project and two other empirical studies that we carried out previously, all with students as subjects, so as to provide the context for a discussion on the research and the educational goals that should be taken into account when carrying out an experiment with students to make it successful from both an empirical and an educational viewpoint. Finally, we provide some advice on how to carry out empirical studies with students based on our experiences.
