Abstract

One of the very important aspects of software quality is software testing. Software testing consumes 30%-50% of the most software projects. Testing should not only be performed for the quality or development process requirement but due to the fact that testing needs to ensure that the software performs what it is supposed to do. UWS has responded to this need of the software testing in industry by introducing a course on Software Testing- 'Fundamentals of Software Testing' in undergraduate studies. This course is an outcome of strategic alignment of UWS with Polaris Software Pty Ltd involved in testing of large software projects. The course aims to prepare students for understanding of Software Testing Life cycle. This course is jointly delivered by academics and software testing specialists from industry, to provide a holistic view of software testing as practiced by the software industry.
