As part of the NSF-Funded project "Teaching Software Testing On-line," we are developing a series of four testing modules that can be used in several courses across an undergraduate computer science curriculum. Each module will cover approximately 3 weeks of student time, although the content will allow the instructor to adjust the coverage assigned to students and assign content from the module in parallel with ongoing programming assignments. Rather than simply being a recorded lecture, the modules will each contain a written, cross-referenced presentation of testing concepts and material together with on-line, automatically graded self-tests, pre-written exercises that can be assigned for out-of-class work, and additional exercises that allow an instructor to incorporate his or her own material into the student's assignment. Each on-line module will also provide an on-line student feedback mechanism for students to comment on the module itself. The four modules are:
