For this assignment you will be watching a video lesson, coding time during the lesson, and writing a reflection on the lesson. Please note, you MUST code this lesson independently. The likelihood of two people who have just learned to code getting the same exact results is minimal. The questions that will guide your reflection are: What went well/did not go well in your lesson? Use specific examples of things that occurred during the lesson? Explain how you actively engaged students in learning tasks aligned with the objectives in the psychomotor domain. Using examples from the lesson, explain, use the coding data, how you maximized students’ engagement in the lesson. If you could have done better, explain how, using the data. What did you learn about your job of coding? How did the teacher do based on that job and your observation of the lesson.

Provide an overview of the capabilities of a software testing tool. The tools listed below are simply examples of some of the many tools in this area. Your summary should be 2-4 pages long, double-spaced, 12-point font.  Discuss whether the tool you chose would be appropriate for small projects, e.g., an agile project, or a large project, involving potentially hundreds of developers.  List the features of the tool. Does it support “statement coverage, decision coverage, condition coverage, MC/DC, mutation testing”, … A table listing the testing criteria that we have talked about in class with a checkmark for the ones covered by the tool would be a good way to present this information.  Possible testing tools: JUnit, CppUnit (or other XUnit), FIT, FitNesse, qTest, Zephyr, etc. Remember to appropriately cite any publications you use in writing your overview.
