Metamorphic Testing and Testing with Special Values
The problem of testing programs without test oracles is well known. A commonly used approach is to use special values in testing but this is often insufficient to ensure program correctness. This paper demonstrates the use of metamorphic testing to uncover faults in programs, which could not be detected by special test values. Metamorphic testing can be used as a complementary test method to sp...
متن کاملTesting Model Transformation Programs using Metamorphic Testing
Model transformations are crucial for the success of Model Driven Engineering. Testing is a prevailing technique of verifying the correctness of model transformation programs. A major challenge in model transformation testing is the oracle problem, which refers to the difficulty or high cost in determining the correctness of the output models. Metamorphic Testing alleviates the oracle problem b...
متن کاملAutomated Metamorphic Testing
Usual techniques for automatic test data generation are based on the assumption that a complete oracle will be available during the testing process. However, there are programs for which this assumption is unreasonable. Recently, Chen et al. [3, 4] proposed to overcome this obstacle by using known relations over the input data and their unknown expected outputs to seek a subclass of faults insi...
متن کاملTesting the untestable: reliability in the 21st century
As science and technology become increasingly sophisticated, government and industry are relying more and more on science’s advanced methods to determine reliability. Unfortunately, political, economic, time, and other constraints imposed by the real world inhibit the ability of researchers to calculate reliability efficiently and accurately. Because of such constraints, reliability must underg...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Teaching Metamorphic Testing
This paper is an attempt to understand the effectiveness of teaching metamorphic properties in a senior/graduate software engineering course classroom environment through gauging the success achieved by students in identifying these properties on the basis of the lectures and materials provided in class. The main findings were: (1) most of the students either misunderstood what metamorphic prop...
