We gained insight into ideas and beliefs on testing of students who finished an introductory course on programming without any formal education on testing. We asked students to fill in a small survey, to do four exercises and to fill in a second survey. We interviewed eleven of these students in semi-structured interviews, to obtain more in-depth insight. The main outcome is that students do not test systematically, while most of them think they do test systematically. One of the misconceptions we found is that most students can only think of test cases based on programming code. Even if no code was provided (black-box testing), students try to come up with code to base their test cases on.

学生如何测试软件单元？

对于没有完成任何正规测试培训的编程入门课程的学生，我们获得了有关测试思想和信念的见解。我们要求学生填写一个小调查，进行四个练习，并填写第二个调查。我们通过半结构化访谈对其中的11名学生进行了访谈，以获取更深入的见解。主要结果是学生没有系统地测试，而大多数人则认为他们是系统地测试。我们发现的误解之一是，大多数学生只能想到基于编程代码的测试用例。即使没有提供任何代码（黑盒测试），学生也会尝试提供代码以基于他们的测试用例。
