Educational data mining and learning analytics promise better understanding of student
behavior and knowledge, as well as new information on the tacit factors that contribute to …

Context: Software has become ubiquitous in every corner of modern societies. During the
last five decades, software engineering has also changed significantly to advance the …

While Computer Science curricula teach students strategic software development
processes, assessment is often product-instead of process-oriented. Test-Driven …

Writing meaningful software tests requires students to think critically about a problem and
consider a variety of cases that might break the solution code. Consequently, to overcome …

This data-driven paper quantitatively evaluates software testing behaviors that students
exhibited in introductory computer science courses. The evaluation includes data collected …

Studies have found that following Test-Driven Development (TDD) can improve code and
testing quality. However, a preliminary investigation was consistent with concerns raised by …

Several studies suggest that the teaching of software testing should begin as early as
possible, since introductory programming courses. In this way, the teaching of both subjects …

As students learn to program they also learn basic software development methods and
techniques, but educators do not often directly assess students' development processes or …

Software testing is typically a rushed and neglected activity that is done at the final stages of
software development. In particular, most students tend to test their programs manually and …

Test-driven development (TDD) is an important software engineering technique that requires
writing tests before writing the code to be tested. We describe an approach to introduce the …
