Towards Good Enough Testing: A Cognitive-Oriented Approach Applied to Infotainment Systems

Abstract
This contribution outlines a cognitive-oriented approach to construct test systems that can "partially " imitate several cognitive paradigms of skilled human testers. For example, learning, reasoning, optimization, etc. Hence, a reasonable portion of the workload done by a human tester would be shifted to the test system itself. This consequently leads to a substantial reduction in the development time and cost; yet the test efficiency is not sacrificed.

Is branch coverage a good measure of testing effectiveness?
Empirical Software Engineering and VerificationMost approaches to testing use branch coverage to decide on the quality of a given test suite. The intuition is that covering branches relates directly to uncovering faults. The empirical study reported here applied random testing to 14 Eiffel classes ...
Towards quality of model-based testing in the ioco framework
JAMAICA 2013: Proceedings of the 2013 International Workshop on Joining AcadeMiA and Industry Contributions to testing AutomationSince testing is an expensive process, automatic testing with smart test selection has been proposed as a way to reduce such expense. Such a selection of tests can be done using specification coverage functions. Model-based ioco theory, however, uses ...
Faster mutation testing inspired by test prioritization and reduction
ISSTA 2013: Proceedings of the 2013 International Symposium on Software Testing and AnalysisMutation testing is a well-known but costly approach for determining test adequacy. The central idea behind the approach is to generate mutants, which are small syntactic transformations of the program under test, and then to measure for a given test ...
