The conditions are weaker than those in related work by other authors and the class of nuisance paramete...

Understanding and maintaining complex software systems is a difficult task. In principle, tests can be a good source of information about how the system works. Unfortunately, tests are frequently unstructured and disconnected from each other and from their units under test. We propose a new approach to organizing unit tests in which tests produce examples of their units under tests which also c...
