Competency Info
This is the second micro-credential in the “21st Century Learning through Global Education” stack. It is encouraged that the micro-credentials in this stack are earned in sequence, as each skill builds on the previous one in the stack.
The educator builds upon the identified considerations for practice by incorporating strategies and activities that support global education practices. The educator reflects and categorizes them according to the four global competencies.

The Advanced Performance Assessment for Learning Design stack is designed so that, if all three credentials are taken together, they will become more than the sum of their parts. Each micro-credential is intended to be able to stand on its own; however, the ideas and activities of each of these credentials support and expand on the others, allowing a fuller appreciation of performance assessment and its implications. Even more value will be gained by engaging in all three Performance Assessment for Learning stacks together.

Formative Assessments:
Performance assessments are often used as summative, end-of-unit assessments, attempting to capture the terminal demonstrations of proficiency from students. It’s important to recognize, though, that performance assessments are equally (if not more) powerful if used formatively, i.e., to provide feedback to students so that they might improve. This is performance assessment for learning.

This micro-credential, one of four in the Accommodations stack, addresses response accommodations. These micro-credentials are consistent with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) requirements and are therefore relevant to students in grades K-12 with disabilities.

It’s common for many startups to skip testing. They might say that their budget is the reason why they overlook such an important step. They think it would lead to no major consequences. But to make a strong and positive first impression, it needs to be top-notch. And for that, testing the product for bugs is a must.

To really understand why software testing is important, we need to correlate it with real world examples, which has caused serious issues in the past, a few examples include:

In October 2014, Flipkart an e-commerce in India company had an offer called the “Big Billion Sale.” When it was launched it had a lot of traffic and as a result, its website couldn’t handle the enormous load of traffic leading to the website downtime, cancellation of orders etc. The reputation of the organization was badly impacted by this issue.
In 2015, the Royal Bank of Scotland, due to a bug, couldn’t process about 600,000 payments. Because of this, they were fined 66 million pounds
Yahoo in September 2016, had a major data breach where 500 million users’ credentials got compromised.

Recently, Okta, an American authentication firm, had a digital breach due to a software bug that may have affected their user’s details. This has also affected the reputation of Okta.
Similarly, established organizations need to maintain their client base and their impression. So they have to ensure the delivery of flawless products to the end-user. Let’s take a look at some points and see why software testing is vital to good software development.
