Abstract
Addressing software quality and testing as part of the software engineering education programme has become more important as a result of new software development trends, such as incremental development methodologies (e.g. Agile), continuous integration (CI) and continuous development (CD). In this article, the authors present how to integrate these important topics into software education. The main debate has been whether software quality is a specialisation within the software engineering profession or must be an integral part of the engineer's training. In the authors' view the debate already has been settled by industry, through the new trends and evolution of the development lifecycle. It is necessary that software engineers be familiar with, and address, software quality and testing. The aim of authors of this article was to examine the current teaching curriculum, and suggest the tools and means for facilitating integration of quality and testing into the software engineering school programme.
