A Simplified Approach to Test-driven Development for the First Programming Course
نویسنده
چکیده
In industry experiments using test-driven development (TDD), some researchers report significantly increased code quality over traditional test-last approaches. Not surprisingly, information technology educators have begun to call for the introduction of TDD into the curriculum. Some early adopters have pioneered the use of TDD in advanced programming or software engineering courses. A few educators have experimented with the introduction of TDD as early as the beginning programming course. This paper examines various strategies for presenting test-driven concepts in an introductory software development course. Classroom experience with a simplified approach to TDD that doesn’t require the use of an automated test framework is explored. Based on an end-of-course student survey, recommendations are made for integrating TDD into the first programming course.

متن کاملUsing Linear Physical Programming in Optimizing Fuzzy Quality Function Deployment
Quality function deployment (QFD) is a customer-driven quality management and product development system for achieving higher customer satisfaction. It is necessary to determine relationships between customer requirements (CRs) and technical requirements (TRs), as well as correlation among the TRs themselves. Such data are usually ambiguous and fuzzy and people have different judgments about th...

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a customer-driven approach, widely used to develop or process new product to maximize customer satisfaction. Last researches used linear physical programming (LPP) procedure to optimize QFD; however, QFD issue involved uncertainties, or fuzziness, which requires taking them into account for more realistic study. In this paper, a set of fuzzy data is used to ...
