Teaching Black Box Testing
نویسنده
چکیده
Historically, software testing received relatively less attention compared with other activities (e.g. systems analysis and design) of the software life cycle in an undergraduate computer science/information systems curriculum. Nevertheless, it is a common and important technique used to detect errors in software. This paper reports our recent experience of using a new approach to teaching software testing (particularly black box testing) at the University of Melbourne. Through this paper, we aim to increase the pro le of software testing as well as to foster discussion of e ective teaching methods of software testing.

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...
متن کاملTeaching Specification-Based Testing
Historically, relatively less emphasis has been placed on software testing in comparison with other activities, such as systems analysis and design, of the software life cycle in an undergraduate computer science or software engineering curriculum. Testing, however, is a common and important technique used to detect program faults. Thus, testing must be taught rigorously to the students. This p...
متن کاملOn the applicability of Artificial Intelligence in Black Box Testing
Efficient and thorough testing is essential to create quality software. In some cases, software code may not be available in testing phase. In such scenarios black box testing is used. The work presents various black box testing techniques. A systematic literature review has been carried out according to the guidelines proposed by kitchenham. The work discusses the applicability of artificial i...
متن کاملHistory-Based Test Case Prioritization for Black Box Testing on a New Product using Ant Colony Optimization
Test case prioritization is a technique to improve software testing. Although many works have investigated test case prioritization, they focus on white box testing or regression testing. However, software testing is often outsourced to a software testing company that employs black box testing. Herein a framework is proposed to prioritize test cases for black box testing on a new product using ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Software Testing Techniques
Software testing is the process used to measure the quality of developed computer software. It exhibits all mistakes, errors and flaws in the developed software. In this paper, the three most prevalent and commonly used software testing techniques for detecting errors are described and compared, they are: white box testing, black box testing and grey box testing. Keywords— Black box, Demonstrat...
