Abstract
Traditionally, software testing is introduced to CS students in CS1 and then
not treated in depth until an upper level course in Software Engineering. In
addition, testing is often taught as standalone topic instead of one
intertwined with all areas of software development. An alternative approach
proposed here is to integrate testing methods throughout the CS curriculum from
the first introductory course through the senior projects. As students master
new CS materials, they will be exposed to the appropriate methods for testing
their programs. A web-based technique is introduced to allow students to
create test suites and record their results.
