Teaching automated testing can be a daunting task, but it's essential for organizations to have high-quality automated testing. To engage students and make testing more enjoyable, teach using real-world systems, not toys, and demonstrate the value of testing by highlighting its ability to solve real problems. Instead of requiring testing, show how it can make a difference in the organization. Write tests that matter, focusing on specific functionality rather than testing every branch or input, as this slows down development. By taking a practical approach to teaching automated testing, organizations can improve the quality of their testing and create a more enjoyable experience for developers.
