Using Program Slicing Technique to Reduce the Cost of Software Testing

Systems of computers and their application in the lives of modern human beings are vastly expanding. In any kind of computer application, failure in computer systems can lead to a range of financial and mortal losses. Indeed, the major origin of software failure can be located in designing or implementing software. With regard to these statistics, 30% of the software projects have been prospero...

Distributed Black-Box Software Testing Using Negative Selection

In the software development process, testing is one of the most human intensive steps. Many researchers try to automate test case generation to reduce the manual labor of this step. Negative selection is a famous algorithm in the field of Artificial Immune System (AIS) and many different applications has been developed using its idea. In this paper we have designed a new algorithm based on nega...

Automation Testing: An Introduction to Selenium

A good tool for testing is the one which has the ability to augment the testing performance and its competences as well as that can be a part of automation. When we chooses to build and host a Web application; automated regression testing becomes a responsibility for accomplishment. As the need of Web applications are growing, with each subsequent release, testing needs to grow tremendously. In...

Improving Testing Efficiency: Agile Test Case Prioritization

Introduction A remaining challenging area in the field of software management is the release decision, deciding whether or not a software product can be transferred from its development phase to operational use. Many software manufacturers have difficulty in determining the ‘right’ moment to release their software products. It is a trade-off between an early release, to capture the benefits of ...

SPRAE: A Framework for Teaching Software Testing in the Undergraduate Curriculum

For the past three years undergraduate students at Florida A&M University have been exposed to the practice of software testing, both as part of the senior projects course, and in an elective course in software testing. Because these courses provide a mere introduction to software testing, the students are presented a framework for understanding the theory, management and practice of testing an...
