An Active Learning Approach to Software Testing with Online Support

We have taught software engineering-related courses at undergraduate and graduate levels at the Universidad de Costa Rica for several years, but next year we will face the challenge of teaching a graduate-level course in Software Testing. This will be the third time the course is offered in the master’s program but it will be the first time we will teach it, and this time we want to incorporate active learning into the course, using an online support platform. In this paper we will present some of the active learning activities we plan to incorporate into the course and provide support for them based on previous experience using similar activities in other courses. We conclude with our contributions and future directions.
