. If we were to trace this deficiency in software testing background back to its source, wewould end up at the educational institutions that are responsible for teaching and training peopleto test software. Thus, if today’s software testers are not sufficiently armed with the knowledgerequired to test software well, then it is most likely because they have not been adequatelytrained. This is one of the main root causes of the current state of software testing, and it ishere that we need to begin to remedy the problem.Current ApproachThe subject of software testing rarely appears in the undergraduate curricula, despite its wellestablished place in classical computer science (CS) literature 2 and its extensive use in industry.Many academic CS
