Test memory: um novo jeito de ensinar sobre testes e seus tipos na disciplina de verificação e validação da Universidade Federal do Ceará campus de Russas

Abstract

Software testing is a fundamental activity in the software development process to verify that a system meets the specified requirements. Knowing about software testing is an important activity in the Information Technology area. However, the teaching of this subject tends to be more theoretical and less practical, which hinders the assimilation of the concepts by students and their application in the industry. As a solution to this, the Test Memory memorization game emerged, which provides teaching about software testing and its types, by means of scenarios that simulate situations in the job market. The goal of this study is to make teaching about software testing and its types more engaging, enjoyable, and especially more practical through gamification. The expected results of this research, seek to achieve an applied approach that not only triggers significant motivation, but also involves students more effectively in the learning process, promoting active learning and providing a more rewarding experience
