	abstract = {<p>This\&nbsp; paper\&nbsp; reports\&nbsp; a\&nbsp; case\&nbsp; study\&nbsp; in\&nbsp; designing\&nbsp; an introductory software testing course for systems engineers who\&nbsp; develop\&nbsp; C\&nbsp; embedded\&nbsp; software\&nbsp; for\&nbsp; networking systems.\&nbsp; Our\&nbsp; course\&nbsp; is\&nbsp; focused\&nbsp; on\&nbsp; unit\&nbsp; testing\&nbsp; and introduces one particular tool for doing it. We designed a technology-based\&nbsp; blended\&nbsp; training\&nbsp; course\&nbsp; with\&nbsp; a significant\&nbsp; on-line\&nbsp; component\&nbsp; using\&nbsp; Moodle\&nbsp; as\&nbsp; our learning\&nbsp; management\&nbsp; system.\&nbsp; Even\&nbsp; though\&nbsp; our\&nbsp; course consists of 40 attendance hours, the attendees will have to spend an additional 20-40 hours on off-class work doing homework\&nbsp; and\&nbsp; reading\&nbsp; assignments.\&nbsp; We\&nbsp; will\&nbsp; also\&nbsp; use parts\&nbsp; of\&nbsp; several\&nbsp; on-line\&nbsp; instructional\&nbsp; videos\&nbsp; to complement\&nbsp; our\&nbsp; material.\&nbsp; This\&nbsp; paper\&nbsp; might\&nbsp; help educational\&nbsp; institutions\&nbsp; and\&nbsp; college\&nbsp; professors\&nbsp; in designing and\&nbsp; implementing\&nbsp; software\&nbsp; testing courses\&nbsp; for industry,\&nbsp; especially\&nbsp; when\&nbsp; the\&nbsp; learning\&nbsp; requirements\&nbsp; are rather particular.</p>},
