Test-Driven Development is the evolutionary approach in which unit test cases are incrementally written prior to code implementation. In our research, we will be doing comparative study of Test Driven development with traditional techniques through literature study as well as industrial survey. Through this research, we would like to find out the factors encouraging the use of Test Driven Devel...

The Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) is a widely used instrument to assess information processing speed, attention, visual scanning, and tracking. Considering that repeated evaluations are a common need in neuropsychological assessment routines, we explored test-retest reliability and practice effects of two alternate SDMT forms with a short inter-assessment interval. A total of 123 universi...

Problem and Motivation: Testing accounts for 50% cost of software development. Because of the necessity of testing, educators are including more and more software testing[1] in programming [2] and software engineering courses [3, 4]. Current classroom assessment systems (e.g.,Web-CAT, ASSYST, Marmoset) use code coverage to evaluate how well students test their own code. Code coverage measures t...

For adults, written spelling is generally superior to oral spelling. To determine whether the same holds true for children in kindergarten through second grade, we compared children’s ability to spell real words (Experiment 1) and nonsense words (Experiment 2) orally and in writing. Building on the work of Tangel and Blachman (1992, 1995) and others, we developed a reliable system to assess the...
