Using scientific disciplines as inspiration, some researchers have called for the creation of general theories for software engineering. I present a contrary view, drawing on recent work in the philosophy of engineering. Engineering theories are different to scientific theories, and are not judged by the same criteria. Software engineering researchers should strive to create valid theories about the...
This paper presents a prototype of an expert system to assist in the discovery and analysis of test failure root cause. The prototype application is most useful in a software development scenario where dedicated software test engineers are employed for testing activities, and these test engineers do not have an intimate knowledge of the internal design and implementation of the software under test...
The assessment of a testing strategy and the comparison of different testing strategies is a crucial part in current research on software testing. Often, manual error seeding is used to generate faulty programs. As a consequence, the results obtained from the examination of these programs are often not reproducible and likely to be biased. In this paper, a flexible approach to the benchmarking of...
