Abstract

Context-aware applications capture environmental changes as contexts and self-adapt their behaviors dynamically. Existing testing research has not explored context evolutions or their patterns inherent to individual test cases when constructing test suites. We propose the notation of context diversity as a metric to measure how many changes in contextual values of individual test cases. In this paper, we discuss how this notion can be incorporated in a test case generation process by pairing it with coverage-based test data selection criteria

Empirically evaluating Greedy-based test suite reduction methods at different levels of test suite complexity

Test suite reduction is an important approach that decreases the cost of regression testing. A test suite reduction technique operates based on the relationship between the test cases in the regression test suite and the test requirements in the program ...
Improving Fault Detection Capability by Selectively Retaining Test Cases during Test Suite Reduction

Software testing is a critical part of software development. As new test cases are generated over time due to software modifications, test suite sizes may grow significantly. Because of time and resource constraints for testing, test suite minimization ...
Improving the Effectiveness of Testing Pervasive Software via Context Diversity

Context-aware pervasive software is responsive to various contexts and their changes. A faulty implementation of the context-aware features may lead to unpredictable behavior with adverse effects. In software testing, one of the most important research ...
