On most software projects testing activities consume at least 30 percent of the project effort. On safety critical applications, software testing can consume between 50 to 80 percent of project effort. There is a vast amount of information available on software testing techniques and tools and some universities offer software testing courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level. Software testing must also be stressed in beginning courses and even in the high schools when students are first learning to program. It is also important in these early years to instill a respect for software testing and some interest in possible testing careers. This paper describes a project to develop a learning and training environment that enables students to develop the knowledge and skills to perform requirement based testing. The target audience for the environment are beginning programming students at either the high school or university level. The software training environment consists of Web-based instructional materials as well as a testing simulator which enables students to actually test software programs. This paper describes the educational objectives of the test training environment, its implementation and results from utilizing the environment with beginning programming students","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115569549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In analyzing such teaching effectiveness criteria, the nature of teaching responsibility and accountability will be examined to determine the sources of sustained teaching effectiveness and successes. On evaluating such tasks an ethnographic study (in line of Spradley's method) of some successful teachers will be undertaken to define a \"balanced scorecard in effective teaching,\" developed in the pattern of the Harvard Business Review's Balanced Scorecard","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117176004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This \"software crisis\" is not new, and is not helped by the fact that new computer science/engineering graduates often have little experience with schedule estimation. Poor development habits acquired early on are not always corrected by the one or two software engineering courses commonly taught in upper level courses. We are developing ClockIt, a tool and supporting methodology that seek to improve student software development practices starting with introductory courses. As an extension or plug-in to an existing integrated development environment (IDE) ClockIt is being designed to monitor and log student development activities. It will also allow estimation of student effort by project or component, and provide reports and visualizations of student \"development profiles.\" We believe that analysis and presentation of development profiles will provide instructors useful visual and quantitative support for teaching sound development practices. The same information will also provide students with immediate feedback with little conceptual overhead","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117180809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrating real-world scenarios in one's curriculum can be challenging. We present a new integrated exercise sequence using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) involving both assembly language and high-level language software development. During this sequence, our sophomore students at the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) implement a communications packet-based protocol for a simulated UAV system. The first exercise is an introduction to assembly language programming, involving user input/output and integer-based instructions. The second exercise adds the use of assembly language floating point instructions. To simulate radio transmission of data from the UAV to a ground control station (GCS), the third exercise introduces command-line pipes. The GCS is implemented in a high-level-language and consists primarily of an IEEE 754 software multiplier. Memory traces from these three exercises are used during their final team project, implementing a visual cache simulator. This new UAV-based computer architecture assignment meets an institutional goal of having career-related assignments in each course. Our institution has a strong inter-disciplinary UAV research group, which a member of our department directs and from which this sequence is derived. This sequence prepares students for the senior-year UAV-based software engineering capstone","PeriodicalId":281157,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Frontiers in Education 35th Annual Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124924362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
