  We gained insight into ideas and beliefs on testing of students who finished
an introductory course on programming without any formal education on testing.
We asked students to fill in a small survey, to do four exercises and to fill
in a second survey. We interviewed eleven of these students in semi-structured
interviews, to obtain more in-depth insight. The main outcome is that students
do not test systematically, while most of them think they do test
systematically. One of the misconceptions we found is that most students can
only think of test cases based on programming code. Even if no code was
provided (black-box testing), students try to come up with code to base their
test cases on.
