In this paper, we describe the research part of a collaboration between a large telecommunications company and Aalto University built around a programming course arranged by Aalto University for the company's software developers. This research involved examining several of the software developers' understandings of matters related to software development and quality in both a learning and a professional development context. The study uses qualitative analysis of questionnaires and interviews to produce descriptions of how the developers understood the software development process and testing and the information sources and needs they had when debugging.
