Conditioned slicing supports partition testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the use of conditioned slicing to assist partition testing, illustrating this with a case study. The paper shows how a conditioned slicing tool can be used to provide confidence in the uniformity hypothesis for correct programs, to aid fault detection in incorrect programs and to highlight special cases.

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...
متن کاملConSIT: A Conditioned Program Slicer
Conditioned slicing is a powerful generalisation of static and dynamic slicing which has applications to many problems in software maintenance and evolution, including re-use, reengineering and program comprehension. However, there has been relatively little work on the implementation of conditioned slicing. Algorithms for implementing conditioned slicing necessarily involve reasoning about the...
متن کاملUnderstanding Function Behaviors through Program Slicing
We present conditioned slicing as a general slicing framework for program comprehension. A conditioned slice consists of a subset of program statements which preserves the behavior of the original program with respect to a set of program executions. The set of initial states of the program that characterize these executions is speci ed in terms of a rst order logic formula on the input variable...
متن کاملTest Case Design Using Conditioned Slicing of Activity Diagram
For testing software, test case generation is the most important part. The automation of specification based test case generation needs formal or semi formal specification. As a semiformal modeling, UML is widely used to describe analysis and design specification by both academia and industry. Thus UML models become the sources of test case generation naturally. This paper proposes a method to ...

In this paper we extend the formal framework proposed by Binkley et al. for representing and comparing forms of program slicing. This framework describes many well-known forms of slic...
