Abstract

Creating test cases is a difficult task for students. The number
of existing recommendations on how to create test cases is over-
whelming. There is a lack of guidelines on how to apply those
recommendations one step after another. This problem even be-
comes more complicated when students are taught to refactor their
code as a habit. We propose an approach to teach students how to
develop and test their code systematically, with refactoring inte-
grated. In our approach, we pay attention to both functionality and
robustness.
