TDL is an approach that is used to teach computerprogramming that integrates automated unit tests throughout the CS and SE curriculum, and TDDis a disciplined development approach that is used with programmers or learners to write anautomated test then the code to make the test pass. These tests are usually small, testing only onemethod, and written with a unit testing framework such as JUnit. Other findings [S. Elbaum, S.Person et al. '07, Desai, Janzen et al.

The individual, therefore, may have all of thenecessary personal tools to move up, but he or she simply lacks opportunity. If this conditionlasts for a prolonged period of time, the individual may seek other employment because he orshe cannot satisfy his or her personal goals, or, become complacent and loose site of their goals,resulting in performance degradation. This is a very real challenge in today’s flatterorganizational models.

Along this process, activities that are mandated for this concept arealso prepared in advance as a set of what we call TIED-UP sheets. TIED-UP sheets include short quizzesthat test conceptual knowledge, along with problems of varying level of complexity that enable theinstructor to assess the student’s knowledge.

They write thatthe body of research on game-based learning in engineering, “nearly unanimously agree[s] thatstudents enjoy game-based learning” but there is a significant lack of studies demonstrating theimpact on learning outcomes. This is either due to a lack of validated measures (e.g. student self-assessment on individually developed surveys or questionnaires) or small sample sizes and/ormissing statistical analysis [8].While games may inspire thoughts of play, the two are overlapping but distinct topics in thecontext of education
