Abstract

This paper describes the structure and expounds the underlying motivations of the 'Testing System' which is presently being designed and experienced in testing the Honeywell GCOS Level 62 operating system. TS is a hierarchical system in which two main levels are individuated: tests and 'testing structures'. The former are automatic 'system exercisers' - either 'testing programs' and 'testing units' at JCL level; the latter are hierarchically organized 'catalogues', allowing the management of testing activities through the use of automatic tools.

Evolution-aware detection of order-dependent flaky tests
ISSTA 2022: Proceedings of the 31st ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis

Regression testing is an important part of the software development process but suffers from the presence of flaky tests. Flaky tests are tests that can nondeterministically pass or fail regardless of code changes. Order-dependent flaky tests are a ...
