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...

Dynamic, incremental assertion propagation in end-user programming

Creator:

Creswick, Eugene Rogan

Abstract:

End-user programming is growing at a rapid rate, but there has been little in the way of tools or environments to improve the correctness of programs created by end users. We present an approach to dynamic assertions in one of the most widely used end-user programming paradigms - namely the...
