  • What you see is what you test : a testing methodology for form-based visual programs

    Creator:
    Li, Lixin, 1966-
    Abstract:
    Visual programming languages employ visual representation to make programming easier and make programs more reliable and more accessible. Visual program testing becomes increasingly important as more and more visual programming languages and visual programming environments come into real use. In this work, we focus on one important class of visual...

  • Regression testing experiments

    Creator:
    Sayre, Kent
    Abstract:
    Software maintenance is an expensive part of the software lifecycle: estimates put its cost at up to two-thirds of the entire cost of software. Regression testing, which tests software after it has been modified to help assess and increase its reliability, is responsible for a large part of this cost....

  • Test case prioritization

    Creator:
    Chu, Chengyun, 1974-
    Abstract:
    Prioritization techniques are used to schedule test cases to execute in a specific order to maximize some objective function. There are a variety of possible objective functions, such as a function that measures how quickly faults can be detected within the testing process, or a function that measures how fast...

  • Empirical studies of the effects of incorporating fault exposure potential estimates into a test data adequacy criterion

    Creator:
    Chen, Wei
    Abstract:
    Researchers have hypothesized that if we could estimate the probability that a fault in a code component will a cause a failure, we could use this estimate to improve the fault-detection effectiveness of code-coverage-based testing. If this hypothesis could be supported, it would motivate further research in this area and...

  • Attentional flow networks : a real-time adaptive display technique

    Creator:
    Bible, John
    Abstract:
    Graphics resource allocation has often existed on the periphery of graphics research, taking second place to faster or more realistic algorithms for global illumination and modeling. Most research has focused on generating sets of images that best match the effects one might see in photographs. While this approach works well...

  • Automatic test case generation for spreadsheets

    Creator:
    Cao, Mingming
    Abstract:
    Test case generation in software testing is a process of developing a set of test data that satisfies a particular test adequacy criterion. It is desirable to automate this process since doing it manually is not only technically difficult but also tedious and time-consuming. Although there has been considerable research...

  • Exploring the impact of test suite granularity and test grouping technique on the cost-effectiveness of regression testing

    Creator:
    Qiu, Xuemei
    Abstract:
    Regression testing is an expensive testing process used to validate changes made to previously tested software. Different regression testing techniques can have different impacts on the cost-effectiveness of testing. This cost-effectiveness can also vary with different characteristics of test suites. One such characteristic, test suite granularity, reflects the way in...

  • An experimental study of cost cognizant test case prioritization

    Creator:
    Goel, Amit
    Abstract:
    Test case prioritization techniques schedule test cases for regression testing in an order that increases their ability to meet some performance goal. One performance goal, rate of fault detection, measures how quickly faults are detected within the testing process. The APFD metric had been proposed for measuring the rate of...

  • Helping end users create and manage test cases in the WYSIWYT methodology

    Creator:
    Fisher, Marc Randall
    Abstract:
    Previous work has developed the What You See Is What You Test (WYSIWYT) methodology for testing spreadsheets. This methodology has been shown to help end users test, debug, and modify spreadsheets. To date, however, this system has provided no support for creating, reusing, and managing test cases, a process that...
