  • Understanding Software Development and Testing Practices

    Creator:
    Hilton, Michael
    Abstract:
    A bad software development process leads to wasted effort and inferior products. In order to improve a software process, it must be first understood. In this work I focus on understanding software processes. The first process we seek to understand is Continuous Integration (CI). CI systems automate the compilation, building,...

  • 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...

  • How well do professional developers test with code coverage visualizations? : an empirical study

    Creator:
    Lawrance, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    Professional software developers do not test code adequately, even though testing tools are widely available. Until developers realize the deficiencies in their tests, inadequate testing of software seems likely to remain a major problem. To support developers writing tests, industry and researchers have proposed systems that visualize “testedness” for end-user...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Modeling programmer navigation : an empirical evaluation of predictive models

    Creator:
    Piorkowski, David
    Abstract:
    Software developers frequently need to perform code maintenance tasks, but doing so requires time-consuming navigation through code. A variety of tools are aimed at easing this navigation by using models to predict places in the code that a developer might want to visit, and then providing shortcuts so that the...

  • Structured representation of composite software changes

    Creator:
    Chabra, Aarti
    Abstract:
    In a software development cycle, programs go through many iterations. Identifying and understanding program changes is a tedious but necessary task for programmers, especially when software is developed in a collaborative environment. Existing tools used by the programmers either lack in finding the structural differences, or report the differences as...

  • Achieving portability through software conversion

    Creator:
    Bertani, John A.
    Abstract:
    Conversion of software written for one machine or operating system to equivalent software for another machine or operating system is shown to be economically attractive using source-to-source translation. The features of an automatic converter are described using a Pascal-to-C translater as an example. Solutions to the problems of denesting procedures,...

  • Path-based dynamic impact analysis

    Creator:
    Law, James (James Bruce)
    Abstract:
    Successful software systems evolve over their lifetimes through the cumulative changes made by software maintainers. As software evolves, the problems resulting from software change worsen, exacerbated by increased system size and complexity, lack of program understanding, amount of effort required to make changes, and number of personnel involved. Experience shows...
