This~ paper~ reports~ a~ case~ study~ in~ designing~ an introductory software testing course for systems engineers who~ develop~ C~ embedded~ software~ for~ networking systems.~ Our~ course~ is~ focused~ on~ unit~ testing~ and introduces one particular tool for doing it. We designed a technology-based~ blended~ training~ course~ with~ a significant~ on-line~ component~ using~ Moodle~ as~ our learning~ management~ system.~ Even~ though~ our~ course consists of 40 attendance hours, the attendees will have to spend an additional 20-40 hours on off-class work doing homework~ and~ reading~ assignments.~ We~ will~ also~ use parts~ of~ several~ on-line~ instructional~ videos~ to complement~ our~ material.~ This~ paper~ might~ help educational~ institutions~ and~ college~ professors~ in designing and~ implementing~ software~ testing courses~ for industry,~ especially~ when~ the~ learning~ requirements~ are rather particular.
