The order in which tests are executed can significantly impact the total test execution time. In this paper, we evaluate two test prioritization techniques (manual and automatic) in the context of mobile phone testing. The manual technique produces test sequences created by test experts, while the automatic one generates sequences mechanically based on the permutation of the tests. Both techniques...
Recently search based software engineering (SBSE) has evolved as a major research field in the software engineering community. SBSE has been applied successfully to many software engineering activities ranging from requirement engineering to software maintenance and quality assessment. One area where SBSE has seen much application is test data generation. Search based test data generation techniques...
This paper describes the test oracle generation from an abstraction relation document that is documented using Parnas's Module Documentation (MD) method. This work is part of on-going research that addresses the problem of improving the effectiveness of fault detection. We focus our work on unit/module testing where each module may consist of several programs. The aim of our project is to investigate...
Most current approaches to Web service discovery exploit description logic-based matchmaking algorithms. Until now, these Semantic Web Service technologies have not substituted for traditional search methods, because higher modeling costs, such as representing service annotation ontologies and domain ontologies, are required. In this paper, we present an automatic testing-based approach to the discovery...
In this paper, we describe our experience with automated testing of a mission-critical internal Voice-over-IP (VoIP) conferencing application which presents a web interface as well as a voice interface. We document the challenges that we had to overcome when testing this application and then present our solution using open source testing tools. The lessons learned from this experience may be applicable...
Manual testing is a laborious and time consuming process. In addition, it may not be effective in finding certain defects. Therefore, we introduce an effective framework for automated testing to help solve such problems. The proposed framework helps automate the distribution, execution, and results analysis of test cases. The workflow of tests and test environments are graphically expressed as tables...
This paper describes a GUI testing toolset. This toolset was designed to augment the primary testing activities found in a normal GUI testing cycle. It includes an automatic test case and test automation generator, static binary analysis, a GUI change tracking tool and a comprehensive reporting mechanism. An empirical study on a complex system demonstrates that the toolset could greatly reduce the...
This paper presents an overview of the design and implementation of a framework for automated unit test code generation in a .NET managed code environment, using XSLT, XML and the C# programming language. The primary knowledge and coding skills required for developing and using the framework are XSLT, XML, and C#. The framework is most useful in a software development scenario where dedicated software...
Traditional techniques to test a software application through the application's graphical user interface have a number of weaknesses. Manual testing is slow, expensive, and does not scale well as the size and complexity of the application increases. Software test automation which exercises an application through the application's UI using an API set can be difficult to maintain. We propose a software...
A challenging part of software testing entails the generation of test cases, which cost can be reduced by means of the use of techniques for automating this task. In this paper we present an approach based on the metaheuristic technique scatter search for the automatic test case generation of the BPEL business process. A transition coverage criterion is used as adequacy criterion.
Web applications tend to continuously evolve and thus need thorough, yet lean and automatic, regression testing. In this installment of Software Technology, Andreas Kornstadt and his colleagues describe automatic regression testing for Web applications that uses the Selenium testing framework. Selenium is portable open source software available for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. Tests are written...
In many industries there is a trend towards more specialized and sophisticated applications for control and supervision of the plant. Control systems in general differ from enterprise and office applications, but the demand for efficient tools and practices is very much the same. However, it seems that at least the process industry is lagging somewhat behind in adopting new tools that could facilitate...
