2. INTRODUCTION • Testing in academia • IEEE 1008 • IEEE 829 • Testing Disbursement throughout curriculum

3. Testing in Academia • Ad hoc • Testing taught distinctly (?) • Too important to be left to later • Test suite is required document prior to coding

4. Scope and References Inside the Scope. Outside the Scope. Unit Testing Activities Plan the General Approach, Resources, and Schedule. Determine Features To Be Tested Refine the General Plan Design the Set of Tests Implement the Refined Plan and Design Execute the Test Procedures Check for Termination Evaluate the Test Effort and Unit ANSI/IEEE STD 1008-1987 IEEE Standard for Software Unit Testing Contents
