Participants choose one specialized track based on their interests and aptitudes:

Additional Points to Integrate and Expand:

List of AI Tools and Resources: Within each track, integrate specific AI tools relevant to the skills
being taught. For example, in Track A, mention AI-powered content creation tools, and in Track B,
include AI code generation assistants.

Careers that could be entered into the tech field very quickly (within 6 months or so):

Prompting Engineer: In Track A or as a standalone module, add training on how to effectively


communicate with AI models to generate desired outputs. Highlight career opportunities in prompt
engineering, emphasizing the growing demand and relatively quick entry point.

and devcelope a sort of SAT testing to see where the student is at present

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Analysis-gemini

It is important to assess students when they begin this course to understand their current knowledge
and skill levels in software testing. This will help tailor the instruction to meet their specific needs
and ensure they can effectively grasp the course material.

12
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxx

Here is a potential approach to developing a pre-course assessment, drawing inspiration from the
SAT testing model:

I. Assessment Goals
The primary goals of the pre-course assessment are to:

Evaluate the student's existing knowledge of software testing concepts.

Assess their familiarity with basic software development principles.

Determine their aptitude for problem-solving and analytical thinking.

II. Assessment Format


The assessment could include a mix of question types, similar to the SAT:

Multiple Choice Questions: These can cover fundamental concepts, terminology, and basic
principles of software testing.

True/False Questions: These can quickly assess understanding of key concepts and common
misconceptions.

Short Answer Questions: These can require students to explain concepts or describe testing
scenarios, demonstrating their comprehension and ability to articulate their thoughts clearly.

Problem-Solving Scenarios: These can present hypothetical situations related to software testing
and ask students to identify potential issues or suggest testing approaches.

III. Content Areas


The assessment should cover the following key areas:

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC): Basic understanding of the different phases of software
development.

Testing Terminology: Knowledge of common terms like bug, defect, test case, test plan, etc.

Types of Testing: Awareness of different testing methods (e.g., functional, non-functional, black-
box, white-box).

Bug Identification and Reporting: Ability to recognize common software issues and understand the
elements of a good bug report.

Usability Testing: Basic understanding of usability principles and their importance in software
development.

IV. Sample Questions

13
Here are some examples of questions that could be included in the assessment:

Multiple Choice
Which of the following is the first phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)?

a) Testing

b) Design

c) Planning

d) Deployment

True/False
True or False: Black-box testing involves examining the internal code of the software.

Short Answer
Explain the importance of testing in the SDLC.

Problem-Solving Scenario
Describe how you would test the functionality of a login form on a website.

V. Assessment Administration
The assessment can be administered online or in person.

It should be timed to encourage efficient problem-solving.

The results should be analyzed to identify areas where students may need additional support or
where the course content may need to be adjusted.

By implementing a well-designed pre-course assessment, you can effectively gauge students' initial
understanding and better guide them toward success in the software testing course.
