The teaching-learning process may require specific pedagogical approaches to establish a relationship with industry practices. Recently, some studies investigated the educators' perspectives and the undergraduate courses curriculum to identify potential weaknesses and solutions for the software testing teaching process. However, it is still unclear how the practitioners evaluate the acquisition of knowledge about software testing in undergraduate courses. This study carried out an expert survey with 68 newly graduated practitioners to determine what the industry expects from them and what they learned in academia. The yielded results indicated that those practitioners learned at a similar rate as others with a long industry experience. Also, they studied less than half of the 35 software testing topics collected in the survey and took industry-backed extracurricular courses to complement their learning. Additionally, our findings point out a set of implications for future research, as the respondents' learning difficulties (e.g., lack of learning sources) and the gap between academic education and industry expectations (e.g., certifications).

从黑板到办公室：从业者如何看待软件测试教育

教学过程可能需要特定的教学方法来建立与行业实践的关系。最近，一些研究调查了教育工作者的观点和本科课程，以确定软件测试教学过程的潜在弱点和解决方案。然而，从业者如何评价本科课程中软件测试知识的获取，目前还不清楚。本研究对 68 名刚毕业的从业者进行了专家调查，以确定行业对他们的期望以及他们在学术界学到的东西。得出的结果表明，这些从业者的学习速度与其他具有长期行业经验的人相似。还，他们研究了调查中收集的 35 个软件测试主题中的不到一半，并参加了行业支持的课外课程来补充他们的学习。此外，我们的研究结果指出了对未来研究的一系列影响，因为受访者的学习困难（例如，缺乏学习资源）以及学术教育与行业期望（例如，认证）之间的差距。
