Abstract

The current state of Software Testing Course is first analyzed. With the guidance of CDIO educational theory, it provides concrete methods to reform the course, especially regarding the existing issues. It applies various teaching methods, such as case teaching, project-based learning, and inspired learning, to the reform of undergraduate level Software Testing. It focuses on four different aspects of the reform: teaching of the fundamentals, training of professional attitude and capability, team collaboration and communication, and implementation ability. It has been proved that the reform produced positive results.
