of mini learning workshops by incorporating academic researchand industry best practices through an academia-industry partnership. This endeavor wasintended to boost SV&V awareness and increase skilled SV&V practitioners so as to improveproduct and process quality levels throughout the software development community, resulting ina larger and better skilled software V&V user community.This project completed in August 2017: 1) Critically examined the existing SV&V coursecontents at the authors’ institute, 2) Identified areas where improvements could be made inpedagogy, 3) Developed forty-four delivery contact hours of ALTs, 4) Tested a ALT deliverystrategy, 5) Integrated and delivered new pedagogical tools in the course, 6

the control group, theexperiment group was shown how many intentionally buggy instructor solutions their testsexposed.Our results measured the quality of student test cases for the control and experiment groups. Afterstudents in the experiment group completed two projects with additional feedback on their testcases, they completed a final project without the additional feedback. Despite not receivingadditional feedback, their test cases were of higher quality, exposing on average 5% more buggysolutions than students from the control group. We found this difference to be statisticallysignificant after controlling for GPA and whether students worked alone or with a partner.2 IntroductionTesting is an integral part of software development that
