A Snapshot of Software Testing Education and Instructional Interventions
This program is tentative and subject to change.
This study assesses software testing education in Europe and America through a literature review, dividing selected studies into two categories: 1) the state of software testing education and 2) empirical interventions in universities. The review reveals a limited number of studies, primarily from European and American institutions, and highlights the scarcity of dedicated software testing courses. Although interventions such as problem-based learning and gamification have shown improvements in student engagement and performance, they encounter challenges related to time restrictions, instructors’ skills, and content management. The study underscores the need for dedicated software testing courses at both undergraduate and master’s levels, as these can address issues of time and content management, enable instructors to refine their skills, and better prepare students for industry demands.
