TestEG: um software educacional para o ensino de teste de software

Abstract

The teaching and learning process in software engineering has undergone questioning. One challenge in the teaching software engineering is to fulfill the need to use teaching methods that will make this process more effective. The requirements for software with high quality have motivated the development of methods and techniques for its development. There is no guarantee that a system will operate error-free, its design varies in level of complexity by increasing or decreasing the likelihood of errors. In this work, the goal is to present the development of an educational game in the area of Software Testing to minimize the problems encountered in the teaching and learning of certain subjects covered in this area. Some analyzes of game engines were held and we opted to use the Unity3D. An evaluation was made using a questionnaire for verifying acceptance, playability, and enjoyment. With obtained results, there are evidences that the TestEG suits the requirements of an educational software, besides showing an effective tool in supporting education in Software Testing, contributing to the process of teaching and learning.
