Testing Cases (Testing & Debugging)

Testing Cases is an interactive flash video that allows the user or class to choose a briefcase to select an unknown question to answer. This flash video is not solely limited to the subject matter of testing and debugging, but rather could be expanded to incorporate various subject matter. The goal of "Testing Cases" is that upon opening each briefcase, one can test and confirm their knowledge of the material.

The problem

This exercise is meant to review the material covered following class. It is a colorful and fun way in which to get the students to answer questions. In the interactive flash video created, "testing and debugging" comprises the questions asked.

Participants and props

Everyone that has a computer with Flash is capable of playing. A computer that is capable of playing Flash 8.0 videos.

The script

Each team will choose one case, which will have one question. For each question answered correctly, the team gains a point.

Additional comments

Due to limited time constraints, it is not possible to incorporate all the ideas in creating this flash video. One such idea was to create a dynamic component (via PHP) that would allow the students to answer the questions via their laptops off a website (with PHP supported servers). The data (answered correctly or incorrectly) could be dynamically stored and the resulting data could be then displayed to the instructor, which he or she may display to the class.
