Between Q and R scope, the following test case is not needed: − − −Q − −(P S) − − − R.There are two issues that are being checked by this test case; it checks that precedence is upheld 6when P and S hold at the same state, and it checks that the interval is built even when R occursin the last state of the computation. These two conditions are covered by test cases 2(a)(vi) and2(b)(iii) respectively as given in Table 3.3 Motivation The main contribution of this paper is to show how the aforementioned notions of patterns andscopes can be used in teaching black-box testing techniques. The motivation behind this use ofpatterns and scopes is twofold; 1) The characteristics of these patterns

In the figure, an arrow going from course Ato course B indicates that A is a pre-requisite for B. Page 23.742.6 Figure 1: SE4485 in the undergraduate SE curriculumBased on the relative position of SE4485 in the hierarchy we observe that it essentially integrates theknowledge that is learned and accumulated by students in their prior courses and gives them anopportunity to apply that knowledge collectively.

Cooperative learning within teams and across teamsTraditional cooperative learning uses small teams of students that stay together over several daysor weeks of activity.
