, 15]; pro-viding supplemental learning materials online that support the use of testing tools [16]; improvingtesting courses by identifying the difficulties and challenges students encountered when perform-ing testing [17]; and, testing real-world projects as a significant part of the software testing course[18].This paper presents the experiences of teaching an undergraduate software testing course over foursemesters using three different approaches for the project component of the course. A major com-ponent of the course is a semester-long group project with several deliverables. The nature of thegroup projects includes (a) testing different capstone projects that are sponsored by local compa-nies, (b) all student teams testing a single

computer science at Quinnipiac University. He joined the University in 2001 following a career in industry and has taught a wide variety of courses including data structures, computer architecture and organization, software development, and the senior capstone project. His re- search interests include communication and critical thinking skills in computer science education, and the impact of technology on work/home boundary management. He received his Ph.D. from Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, NY.

, there is a need to incorporate thisinto the curriculum as a focal point of teaching software development to undergraduate computerscience students.BackgroundVariants of agile development have been slowly integrated with traditional approaches intocourses, most commonly in capstone courses and project management courses. (e.g., [3, 4, 5, 6]).However, it is rarely a focal point as most textbooks provide minimal content on Agile[7]. Thereis a need to incorporate Agile into both the content and pedagogy of courses[8]. Agile has beencombined with service-learning[9], but there has not been a lot of work integrating Agile withactive learning techniques. A specific implementation of agile that is inherently and especiallyactive is Scrum. Scrum or a

onlinestudents to work with students enrolled in a synchronous online section. The activities createdfor this project are grounded in the research literature on student engagement.Active LearningSeveral engineering educators regard experiential learning as the best way to train the nextgeneration of engineers3. This requires engineering programs to go beyond offering industry-based capstone courses and internships. It is our belief that introducing students to activelearning opportunities can improve software engineering education at the undergraduate level aswell. We believe this will also increase the pool of new professionals with practical engineeringproblem-solving skills.Active learning is “embodied in a learning environment where the teachers and
