Almost no university teaches software testing in a competent way. For some years, Cem Kaner and I (he, a professor at Florida Tech; me, a proud high school dropout) ran a small annual conference called the Workshop on Teaching Software Testing. We specifically invited Computer Science professors to come and grapple with the problem. Thus, I personally witnessed and engaged with the sorry state of practice with teaching people about testing. Cem developed a great testing class for Florida Tech, later commercialized under the name BBST, that drew in contributions from prominent industry voices. Otherwise, I don't know of any other University that has put the effort in. An exception may be what Tanja Vos is doing at Open University. The problem I have with CMU is that they are the source of the Capability Maturity Model, which is simply incompetent work, justified by no science whatsoever, which tries to apply Taylorist management theory to software engineering. It never caught on despite all the marketing they've done-- it's only popular in military circles. I shudder to think what they are telling students about testing. You can disagree with me, of course-- but in doing so you have to admit there is at least a schism in the industry among various schools of thought about what testing is and should be. My part of the field considers testing to belong to social science, not computer science.
