The aim of this paper is to present the development of a Computer Aided Pedagogical Engineering studio which provides assistance to any teacher wishing to develop educational devices. The devices, which interest us allow the learning of vocational skills. They have been designed thanks to the pedagogical design method called MAUI. The Information and Communication Technologies will instrument the devices built from the studio. They will be adapted to the educational needs of the teacher. This article presents the context and motivations that led to the development of this studio. It then describes the MAUI design method which helped to design the educational devices based on the MAETIC pedagogical method. It then presents the conceptual architecture of the workshop and the various modules that compose it.

“…Software testing is a critical activity in software engineering, accounting for 30% to 90% of the total labor expended in developing software 15 . Yet software testing remains an underestimated activity in the Computer Science training curricula 20 . At the University of Costa Rica, the Bachelor of Science's program in Computer and Information Science offers an elective undergraduate course in software resting, and Master of Science's program in Computer and Information Science offers an elective graduate course in software testing as well.…”

“…There is an extensive body of work related to teaching software testing both at the undergraduate and the graduate levels, 2,5,6,13,14,15,18 but little has been published on industrial training on software testing. Here we examine some of the recent published work that is most comparable to ours.…”

He has contributed to several research projects on software testing and human-computer interaction, and he has also designed and taught training courses on topics related to software testing. He received his B.Sc. in 2011 and his M. Sc in Computer and Information Science in 2015 both from University of Costa Rica. His research interests include in software testing, human-computer interaction, and computer science education. Design and Implementation of a Software Testing Training Course AbstractThis paper presents the design and implementation of a software testing training course for software developers with little or no background on software testing. The design of this training course is modular, so that it can be adapted to different industry needs. The first module is a theoretical course that comprises the fundamentals of software testing, testing types, levels and design techniques. The second module is a practical hands-on workshop where students apply the theoretical concepts from the first module using a specialized tool that supports the entire testing process. The training was given to a small group of developers who work in a software development unit at our university. Our design and implementation of the training course was assessed from three different points of view: the trainer's, the trainee's, and the manager's. Our experience might help educational institutions and college professors in designing and implementing software testing training courses for industry.
