When I was taking CS and Software Engineering Courses, one course covered testing at all, and I don't even believe we spent more than 6 1 hour sessions upon it. As long as educators push the myth that testing is 'easy' and not worth their time, then young college students coming up will continue to be presented the same myths that some of us were back then.<br /><br />I don't know, and maybe you can ask Cem Kaner this, but does seeing a push or actual coursework or electives in testing at the college level really help much at all? Or could this be an area where we have to find other ways to spread the knowledge?DiscoveredTesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03855355676637483294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890958153006612459.post-56523636339861664762012-07-14T11:17:03.494-07:002012-07-14T11:17:03.494-07:00I know my vote doesn't count but still.
Both ...I know my vote doesn't count but still. <br />Both of the topics seems appealing<br />1) being more directed toward the current testers and a global community participating in Weekend Testing, it will have more immediate effects. <br />2) seems more interesting to me (I'll vote for it if I had the opportunity :)) I would love to (hear- Podcast :D) read more about it, what are the current approaches and what other ideas these Awesome group of people have about "discussing Software Testing with teenagers and young adults".<br />I didn't even know that Software Testing can be adopted as a profession when I was doing my Bachelor of Science back in 2001-5 we only had a lecture or two about it and that's it. It would be great to learn all about it and eventually using that learning to tell students about it.Mubbashirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06031017643925685357noreply@blogger.com
