Description
As information systems become increasingly complex, software testing is being recognized as a key element in this process. However, organizations continue to encounter challenges in effectively implementing and executing testing procedures, highlighting the persisting difficulty arising from a lack of knowledge and awareness. Thus, it is crucial to understand the challenges related to software testing to point out educational needs in software testing. To gain a comprehensive understanding of the current challenges related to software testing, this study conducted an empirical cross-sectional interview study with 23 experts. Additionally, a literature review was conducted to investigate if there are any discrepancies or similarities between the current challenges identified in academic research and industry, emphasizing relevant educational needs in software testing. The software testing life cycle was utilized as a framework to systematically present the results. Overall, this study provides insights into the challenges of software testing and current educational needs.
