Context: Software testing ensures software quality, but developers often disregard it. The use of automated testing generation is pursued to reduce the consequences of overlooked test cases in a software project. Problem: In the context of Java programs,...

Context: Software testing is a very relevant step in quality assurance, but developers frequently overlook it. We pursued testing automation to minimize the impact of missing test cases in a software project. Problem: However, for Python programs, there ...

Software development is one of the fastest growing industries today. The defects in software can be very costly, either in terms of losing money, reputation, or even lives in case of some critical applications. Consequently, there is a high and always ...

To guarantee high quality, it is required to retest DBMS thoroughly whenever any changes occur such as operating system updates and configuration changes. Because retesting requires repetitive jobs, development companies start to consider test ...

In this paper, we outline the challenges faced in scalable UI testing of applications on the iOS platform. We analyze how different existing UI testing tools have provided solutions for them and highlight EarlGrey, Google's in-house multi-process UI ...

This paper examines the effects of tool design on student testing behavior in an introductory course. Two tools are considered: BlueJ and WebCAT. A small modification was made to the BlueJ test recording interface to encourage students to engage more ...

In this paper we describe techniques to use SPDY and HTTP network resources optimally for testing purposes with limited resources such as RAM. We demonstrate how to overcome the system limitations of network analysis tools such as the 64K limit on ...

Role-based access control is an important access control method for securing computer systems. A role-based access control policy can be implemented incorrectly due to various reasons, such as programming errors. Defects in the implementation may lead to ...

Mutation testing is a fault-based software testing technique in which a large number of mutants are generated in order to assess the adequacy of test cases devised. One of the daunting problems in this area consists in determining whether a mutant can ...

Writing a test harness is a difficult and repetitive program- ming task, and the lack of tool support for customized auto- mated testing is an obstacle to the adoption of more sophis- ticated testing in industry. This paper presents TSTL, the Template ...

We present UX Suite, which is a set of free testing tools that can be downloaded and used to evaluate the touch sensor performance of Android devices. The tools in the application focus on evaluating touchscreen sensor quality and human performance on ...

[Context] A variety of testing tools have been developed to support and automate software performance testing activities. These tools may use different techniques, such as Model-Based Testing (MBT) or Capture and Replay (CR). [Goal] For software ...

Application life-cycle management (ALM) tools are key for streamlining software development processes. However, small and medium development companies (SMBs) cannot afford to carry out time- and people-intensive tool evaluations for each project, and ...

The growing volume of orders generated by HFT (high-frequency trading) systems has posed a challenge of conducting exchange and brokerage systems testing in production-like environments. Specialized testing tools are used to ensure quality of high load ...

Unit and acceptance testing are central to agile software development, but is that all there is to agile testing? We build on previous work to provide a systematic mapping of agile testing publications at major agile conferences. The analysis presented ...

Cloud computing environments provide on-demand resource provisioning, allowing applications to elastically scale. However, application benchmarks currently being used to test cloud management systems are not designed for this purpose. This results in ...

Context: Cloud-based testing introduces a new set of challenges. While many companies are approaching cloud computing with cautious, testing appears to be next area of growing interest. Objective: This paper propose the development of a new framework ...

This work provides an overview and comparison of the currently available tools for testing in OSGi environment such as Pax-Exam, JUnit4OSGi or Spring DM. We developed a plugin for JUnit4OSGi that allows to generate basic skeletons of tests from ordinary ...

Testing has been a cornerstone of agile software development methodologies since early in the history of the field. However, the terminology used to describe the field -- as well as the evidence in existing literature -- is largely inconsistent. In ...
