Prioritizing tests for software fault diagnosis
During regression testing, test prioritization techniques select test cases that maximize the confidence on the correctness of the system when the resources for quality assurance (QA) are limited. In the event of a test failing, the fault at the root of the failure has to be localized, adding an extra debugging cost that has to be taken into account as well. However, test suites that are priori...
متن کاملSoftware Fault Diagnosis
This tutorial paper gives an overview of automated diagnosis applied to software faults. The emphasis is on a particular technique called spectrum-based fault localization, which is well-suited for diagnosing software systems, and which can easily be integrated with existing testing schemes. We discuss applications of the technique, including the specific application domain of embedded software...
متن کاملPrioritizing the creation of unit tests in legacy software systems
Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a software development practice that prescribes writing unit tests before writing implementation code. Recent studies have shown that TDD practices can significantly reduce the number of pre-release defects. However, most TDD research thus far has focused on new development. We investigate the adaptation of TDD-like practices for already-implemented code, in par...
متن کاملFocused Diagnosis for Failing Software Tests
Ranging from firmware to cloud services, software is an essential part of almost any imaginable system, or at the very least assists us in their design or maintenance. The sheer complexity and sophisticated concepts of today’s software products thus demand for solutions that assist us in assuring their quality. We aim to contribute in this direction by proposing a fault localization approach fo...
متن کاملReliable Fault Diagnosis with Few Tests
We consider the problem of fault diagnosis in multiprocessor systems. Processors perform tests on one another: fault-free testers correctly identify the fault status of tested processors, while faulty testers can give arbitrary test results. Processors fail independently with constant probability p < 1/2 and the goal is to identify correctly the status of all processors, based on the set of tes...
