PBL NO ENSINO DE TESTES DE SOFTWARE: UMA EXPERIÊNCIA PRÁTICA

Abstract

The activity of software testing is an area of IT
that has grown over the years and that is directly related to
the need to produce quality products that meet increasing
demands. By focusing on the professionals responsible for
quality assurance, as the Engineer of Tests, skills and
competence of these need to be developed based on a very
critical and detailed view of the problem. In this context, this
paper proposes the adoption of PBL (problem-based
learning) as a teaching methodology for the professionals
training in software testing. To prove the applicability of this
proposal, an empirical study was developed with positive
results in teaching the discipline of testing.
