  • 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...

  • An integrated testing and fault localization methodology for spreadsheet languages

    Creator:
    Reichwein, James
    Abstract:
    Spreadsheet languages, which include commercial spreadsheets and various research systems, have proven to be flexible tools in many settings. Research shows, however, that spreadsheets often contain faults. This thesis presents an integrated testing and fault localization methodology for spreadsheets. This methodology allows spreadsheet developers to engage in modeless development, testing...
