A Case-based Approach for introducing Testing Tools and Principles

We present, in this paper, teaching material and experience report on teaching software testing to 3rd year bachelor's degree students. Our approach covers a wide range of techniques from unit testing, to functional testing, through test-first design and black-box testing. To motivate students, we rely on the use of a running case study, that is developed and tested all the way through. This paper presents both teaching material and experience report based on the feedback that we get from the students, and the observations we made regarding the discovery of the software testing aspects.
