Test-driven development (TDD) is a development discipline prescribing writing tests beforehand writing the implementation code, which then shall pass the tests. Several criticisms addressed TDD's capability of delivering well-structured code, mainly because of the short focus on the features needed right now without much looking forward. So the main threat possibly introduced by TDD lies in the lack...
The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of different learning styles and instructor-students interactive modes on learning effect in programming design course. The results of this experimental teaching method demonstrated that: (a) using our designed instant messaging (IM) functions combined with the learning style of Accommodator and Converger students was significantly better than...
Replications play an important role in verifying empirical results. In this paper, we discuss our experiences performing a literal replication of a human subjects experiment that examined the relationship between a simple test for consistent use of mental models, and success in an introductory programming course. We encountered many difficulties in achieving comparability with the original experiment,...
The automatic control of a dynamic batch-weighing system integrates many functions, more commonly associated with automation in the machine-tool industry. They are: 1. Power converting 2. Power actuating 3. Sensing 4. Regulating 5. Communicating 6. Programming 7. Computing 8. Data converting 9. Data storing 10. Data presenting Data storing and data presenting are the functions that directly involve...
