This\  paper\  reports\  a\  case\  study\  in\  designing\  an introductory software testing course for systems engineers who\  develop\  C\  embedded\  software\  for\  networking systems.\  Our\  course\  is\  focused\  on\  unit\  testing\  and introduces one particular tool for doing it. We designed a technology-based\  blended\  training\  course\  with\  a significant\  on-line\  component\  using\  Moodle\  as\  our learning\  management\  system.\  Even\  though\  our\  course consists of 40 attendance hours, the attendees will have to spend an additional 20-40 hours on off-class work doing homework\  and\  reading\  assignments.\  We\  will\  also\  use parts\  of\  several\  on-line\  instructional\  videos\  to complement\  our\  material.\  This\  paper\  might\  help educational\  institutions\  and\  college\  professors\  in designing and\  implementing\  software\  testing courses\  for industry,\  especially\  when\  the\  learning\  requirements\  are rather particular.
