  • 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,...

  • An in-depth analysis of common software vulnerabilities and their solutions

    Creator:
    Van Dyke, Colin William
    Abstract:
    With the current security climate throughout the Internet, a large emphasis is being placed on protecting software systems from attack by a malicious entity. Most successful attacks against software are the result of lazy or misinformed developers and are easily prevented given the correct preparation and instruction. This document provides...

  • Diagramming practices in open source software development

    Creator:
    Chung, Eunyoung
    Abstract:
    Visual information presented in diagrams promotes information processing both in an individual and in collaborative work. Previous literature has identified the role of diagrams in understanding information processing in a variety of disciplines. In software engineering, diagrams are a prevalent method involved in process development: diagrams are used for system...

  • 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....
