Dataset of Software Testing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)

Software testing is a necessary aspect of software development. With high expectations placed on software testers and a shortage of qualified professionals, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have emerged as a potential solution to improve software testing education. MOOCs provide accessible education and can offer a comprehensive review of software testing principles and procedures, bridging the gap between formal education and industry expectations. A study of software testing MOOCs was conducted to examine key aspects. This dataset includes information about the MOOC providers used for the research, metadata about courses selected and the information gathered about course descriptions, teaching techniques and topics discussed.
