Abstract(s)
Context: Software testing is an important task
in software product quality assurance. Alternatives approach
for teaching and training students and professionals have been
addressed in many studies, recently. In this article, peer testing
is investigated as one alternative approach to mitigate the
current lack of well-trained professionals. Objective: To verify
the efficiency and efficacy of peer testing in order to create test
cases to promote software testing education and training. Method:
Conduct a controlled experiment in which subjects design and
implement test cases for three small software units. Results and
conclusions: In this study, it has been observed that peer testing
was significantly more efficient than individual testing (with
t-Test). On the other hand, it has not been observed significant
differences in the efficacy of peer testing.
