Serious games are defined as applied games that focus on the gamification of an experience (e.g., learning and training activities) and are not strictly for entertainment purposes. In recent years, serious games have become increasingly…

Debuggers are a popular reverse engineering and tampering tool. Self-debugging is an effective technique for applications to defend themselves against hostile debuggers. In penetration tests on state-of-the-art self-debugging, we observed…

Conventional debugging techniques used in traditional software are similarly used when debugging video games. However, the reality of video games require its own set of unique debugging techniques such as On-Screen Console, Debug Draws,…

In games, as in and many other domains, design validation and testing is a huge challenge as systems are growing in size and manual testing is becoming infeasible. This paper proposes a new approach to automated game validation and testing.…

Background and context: Debugging is a significant and often frustrating challenge for beginner programmers. Understanding students' debugging behaviours and strategies can help to identify common difficulties and inform approaches for…

Serious games can teach essential coding and testing concepts even to younger audiences. In the Code Critter game critters execute short snippets of block-based code while traversing the game map, and players position magical portals (akin…

Background. Jupyter notebooks are one of the main tools used by data scientists. Notebooks include features (configuration scripts, markdown, images, etc.) that make them challenging to analyze compared to traditional software. As a result,…

The importance of teaching software ethics to software engineering (SE) students is more critical now than ever before as software related ethical issues continue to impact society at an alarming rate. Traditional classroom methods,…

The authors present the results of a simple usability test performed on line_explorer, an innovative tool aimed at letting students explore programming. The system offers an interactive environment where students can learn, review, and…

Exploratory testing, known for its flexibility and ability to uncover unexpected issues, often faces challenges in maintaining systematic coverage and producing reproducible results. To address these challenges, we investigate whether…

Software Engineering is an applied discipline and concepts are difficult to grasp only at a theoretical level alone. In the context of a project management course, we introduced and evaluated the use of software process simulation (SPS)…

A major part of debugging, testing, and analyzing a complex software system is understanding what is happening within the system at run-time. Some developers advocate running within a debugger to better understand the system at this level.…

As modern games continue growing both in size and complexity, it has become more challenging to ensure that all the relevant content is tested and that any potential issue is properly identified and fixed. Attempting to maximize testing…

Serious games are simulation software designed to assist people in learning the practical concepts of various application fields such as Health, wellness, Education and Culture. People improve their individual knowledge, skills and attitude…

The evacuation of complex buildings is a challenge under any circumstances. Fire drills are a way of training and validating evacuation plans. However, sometimes these plans are not taken seriously by their participants. It is also…

Cyber literacy merits serious research attention because it addresses a confluence of specialization and generalization; cybersecurity is often conceived of as approachable only by a technological intelligentsia, yet its interdependent…

In this paper, I describe a recent practical experience where JUnit was used for testing security bugs in addition to functional bugs. Perl scripts were also used during the exploration phase. The application being tested was mature, but…

Serious games are beneficial for education in various computer science areas. Numerous works have reported the experiences of using games (not only playing but also development) in teaching and learning. Considering it could be difficult…

Adversary thinking is an essential skill for cybersecurity experts, enabling them to understand cyber attacks and set up effective defenses. While this skill is commonly exercised by Capture the Flag games and hands-on activities, we…

Teaching assembly programming is a fundamental component of undergraduate computer science education, yet many students struggle with its abstract and low-level concepts. Existing learning tools, such as simulators and visualisers, support…
