Much has been written about the advantages of introducing version control with Git and GitHub in the classroom [4, 5, 6]. The concept of test-driven learning, which relates to the software engineering concept of test-driven-development and advocates for demonstrating the use of automated tests alongside teaching programming concepts early in students’ computer science education, is also found in the literature [7, 8]. Our experience corroborates the findings in the literature that an early introduction to version control and automated testing is advantageous but demonstrates a unique experience where the concepts are presented in a research lab setting that culminates with students submitting pull requests to deploy their automated tests to real open-source projects.
