Abstract: Undergraduates in computer science typically begin their curriculum with a programming course or sequence. Many researchers found that most of the students who complete these courses, and even many who complete a degree, are not proficient programmers and produce code of low quality. In this paper, we have addressed this problem by proposing a cultural shift in introductory programming courses. The primary feature of our approach is that software testing is presented as an integral part of programming practice; specifically, a student who is to write a program will begin by writing a test suite. Our initial results show that this approach can be successful. Teaching basic concepts how to test a program and writing test cases do not take much time, it helps beginning students to understand the requirements, and it helps them produce better-quality code.
