Reflection Through Two Lenses: Experiences of Teaching and Taking Undergraduate Software Engineering and Testing Courses

Undergraduate software engineering courses in higher education institutions usually cover many aspects of software development including software testing. In this experience paper, we collectively discuss our learning through realizations and reflections from both instructor's and students' perspectives of teaching and taking two separate courses in parallel, namely software engineering and soft-ware testing. Both courses had a mix of Millennial and Gen Z, junior-to-senior-level computer science students. The paper con-tributes by sharing the courses' design, its motivation behind the different pedagogical methodologies, tools and techniques used, and its recommendations in teaching similar courses to such a co-hort of students in the future for improved learning experience and outcome.
