Abstract :
Software testing is a challenging topic for undergraduates, but when integrated into a software design course provides many opportunities to enhance student learning in both testing and design. This paper describes an innovative approach to integrating testing into an introductory software design course for computer science and engineering undergraduates. The paper outlines the rational and benefits of the approach.
